“Shocking Scandal: Telangana Police File FIR Against Top Celebrities for Promoting Illegal Gambling Apps”

In a stunning turn of events, the Telangana police have filed a First Information Report (FIR) against 25 high-profile celebrities and influencers, including popular stars like Rana Daggubati, Prakash Raj, Vijay Deverakonda, and Manchu Lakshmi, for allegedly promoting illegal betting and gambling apps to their millions of followers. This explosive development comes after a shocking petition by businessman PM Phanindra Sarma, who claims these celebrities have been using their massive social media influence to encourage their fans to invest in dangerous, unregulated gambling platforms.

 

The FIR, filed at the Miyapur Police Station in Hyderabad, has rocked the entertainment industry, as the complaint highlights a deeply concerning trend of celebrities allegedly accepting hefty payments to endorse these shady gambling apps, which violate the Public Gambling Act of 1867. The issue came to light after Sarma, during a conversation with youth in his community, discovered that many individuals had been lured into gambling their hard-earned money into these illicit apps, thanks to the influence of celebrities they trusted.

 

The complaint details how these influencers, with their vast reach and credibility, have been promoting these apps, which have now ensnared vulnerable people, especially from lower and middle-class families. The apps' false promises of quick, easy money have left many financially ruined. Sarma, who nearly became a victim himself, admitted that he was on the brink of investing in one of these platforms but pulled back after his family warned him about the perilous consequences.

 

The list of accused celebrities reads like a who's who of the entertainment world: Rana Daggubati, Prakash Raj, Vijay Deverakonda, Manchu Lakshmi, Praneetha, Nidhi Agarwal, Ananya Nagella, Siri Hanumanthu, Sreemukhi, Varshini Sounderajan, and several others. These stars are now under intense scrutiny, with the police charging them under multiple sections of the TS Gaming Act and the IT Act, including Section 66(D) of the Information Technology Act, which addresses cheating and identity theft.

 

This scandal has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry, with fans questioning their idols’ involvement in such morally and legally questionable activities. As investigations continue, the authorities are determined to hold these high-profile individuals accountable for the harm they have allegedly caused to innocent people seeking financial stability. The case is sure to be one of the most sensational legal battles in recent times.
