Malayalam actor Jayakrishnan has been arrested by the local police in Uruva in Mangaluru, Karnataka, following allegations that he and two of his friends verbally abused a local taxi driver, calling him a “Muslim terrorist”.

The incident happened on the night of Thursday (October 9) when Jayakrishnan, along with Santosh Abraham and Vimal, booked the taxi through an app. They were supposed to be picked up from the coastal town’s Bijai New Road.

When the taxi driver, Ahmad Shafiq, accepted the booking and called to confirm the location, the accused trio allegedly mocked him in Hindi, calling him a “Muslim extremist” and “terrorist”. They were also accused of using abusive expletives against Shafiq’s mother in Malayalam.
