The action follows a public outcry on X, initiated by actor Sai Dharam Tej, who drew attention to the shocking comments to the father-daughter video clip.
In response to the actor’s appeal, Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy assured swift action to safeguard child safety. DGP Ravi Gupta confirmed that offenders who misuse social media for harmful purposes would face the consequences. Efforts to identify the culprits and raise awareness about child safety and responsible social media use are underway.
The incident has sparked widespread outrage on social media, with demands for severe punishment for those involved. Despite an apology from the main accused, netizens insisted on legal consequences.
Actor Sai Dharam Tej expressed his disgust, stating, “This is beyond gruesome, disgusting and scary. Monsters like these go unnoticed on social media doing child abuse in the name of so-called fun.”
