Vikram Chatterjee, who was previously accused of rash and negligent driving, has been arrested on Thursday, in connection with the death of model-actress Sonika Chauhan in a car crash this April, by the Kolkata Police. Chatterjee was absconding after the police had charged him in the case.


The television and film actor was arrested after Kolkata Police personnel intercepted a cab outside Acropolis Mall on Rashbehari Avenue connector in south Kolkata midnight last night, a senior Kolkata Police officer said.


According to Indian Express, Vikram Chatterjee was charged with culpable homicide not amounting to murder in late May.
