The team representing actors Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna has filed a complaint with the Cyber Crime authorities in Hyderabad. It asks for an impartial investigation into false and misleading social media content about the couple. The Free Press Journal reported that their manager, P. Nishanth Kumar, filed it.
What the complaint says
- It lists fabricated narratives, manipulated screenshots, impersonation and targeted harassment.
- The team submitted links and supporting material.
- It asks police to look into any coordinated or paid campaign, if the evidence supports it.
- It warns that each act of publishing or reposting unlawful content could be examined separately, with legal action where warranted.
Background
Trolling picked up after the couple appeared on the second episode of Koffee With Karan 9. The team's statement said people have every right to criticise, but presenting speculation as fact is different. It urged users not to share unverified claims.
The reports do not say whether police have registered a case.
