Actor Vinayakan has now stepped forward tendering an apology, albeit without directly addressing the incident.

This is not the first time the actor has made headlines for controversial reasons. In September 2024, Vinayakan was booked by the Rajiv Gandhi International (RGI) Airport police in Hyderabad after misbehaving with airline gate staff. He was allegedly intoxicated and argued with the staff while travelling from Kochi to Goa via Hyderabad, leading to his handover to the CISF.

Similarly, in October 2023, he landed in prison after causing a ruckus at the Ernakulam North police station in Kochi. Reports suggested that he was under the influence of alcohol at the time. The incident occurred when he was summoned to the station to resolve a private dispute with his wife.

Vinayakan was last seen in the Malayalam comedy drama Thekku Vadakku.
