Hyderabad is buzzing with a scandal that has sent shockwaves through the Telugu film fraternity! A prominent 40-year-old Telugu actress has taken a brave and unprecedented step, filing a formal complaint with the Cyberabad police against an astounding **42 individuals** for a relentless campaign of online harassment, including the abhorrent use of AI-generated vulgar content. This explosive news has become the talk of the town, highlighting the dark underbelly of digital bullying in Tollywood.
The controversy ignited on December 23rd, following the actress's powerful televised remarks advocating for personal freedom for women within the Telugu film industry. Her statement was a direct response to highly derogatory comments made by another Telugu actor on December 22nd, who had publicly made obscene remarks about women's clothing and bodies. What started as a debate quickly escalated into a vicious online attack targeting the actress.
According to her complaint, the actress became the unfortunate focus of widespread defamatory commentary. She alleged that several television anchors, social media influencers, and YouTube channels responded with abusive language, describing her body "in a loathsome and disgraceful manner." But the most shocking revelation is the widespread circulation of **AI-generated vulgar content** featuring her, which further fueled a torrent of insults across numerous digital platforms. This disturbing trend of weaponizing AI for harassment has deeply unnerved the industry.
The Cyberabad cyber crime sleuths have acted swiftly, registering a criminal case against the 42 accused. This extensive list reportedly includes prominent influencers, operators of various social media handles, and even some media persons, indicating a coordinated and widespread attack. The actress has provided concrete evidence, furnishing details of **over 30 hyperlinks** to reels, shorts, and live streams that allegedly contained the offending content.
The police have registered the case under several stringent sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), including Section 75 (sexual harassment), 79 (Word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman), 336(4) (Forgery for purpose of harming reputation), 351 (criminal intimidation), and 356 (defamation), along with Sections 66-E and 67 of the Information Technology (IT) Act. Authorities have confirmed they are reaching out to social media platforms to ensure the removal of the objectionable content and to aid in the identification of all accused individuals.
This landmark case is a stark reminder of the escalating risks celebrities face in the digital age, especially when they dare to speak their minds on sensitive issues. Fans and industry insiders are eagerly watching how this unprecedented legal battle unfolds, hoping it sets a strong precedent against online abuse and the misuse of AI technology for malicious purposes.
