A.R. Ameen, the son of music composer A.R. Rahman, is reported to be safe after being involved in a minor car accident in Chennai in the early hours of Monday. Multiple outlets say the crash occurred at around 3:30 a.m., and that he and a friend received medical attention for minor injuries and were later discharged.

Police and reporting outlets place the collision near the Olympia Tech Park area/Inner Ring Road route, with the vehicle travelling from Koyambedu toward Guindy. One account says a cab entered the main road from a side road and the vehicles collided. In statements shared through family members and Ameen himself, he says he was in the passenger seat of his friend’s car and that he was not driving. His sister Khatija also provides a timeline and asks media to verify details.

Some reports highlight the immediate medical response and discharge, while others focus on clarifying roles and the sequence of events. Investigators are examining statements from drivers and CCTV footage and whether either vehicle was speeding or whether traffic signals or lane movement contributed to the crash. One cab passenger is also reported injured and treated before discharge.
