2 booked in actor Anasuya online abuse case
Hyderabad:Over a month after actress Anasuya lodged a complaint against 44 persons alleging online abuse, Cyberabad cybercrime police have served notices to two individuals – D. Sandhya Reddy and Shekhar Basha.
Cyberabad cybercrime DCP T. Manohar Sai said a dedicated team has been verifying social media accounts and video links shared in the complaint. “We had earlier called them for questioning and later asked them to submit written explanations. They said they needed some time. We also have a list of people who reside outside the city, once we are able to furnish their details, notices would be served on them too,” he explained.
He added that anonymity and lack of response from media platforms have delayed the investigation. “The complainant had shared many links. Our team is on the job to recognise whether the words used in each comment amount to offences, and under what sections. However, as most of them remain anonymous, we have already written to YouTube seeking address details of four or five commenters. But have not received a response yet,” he said.
Officials confirmed that no new sections have been added or deducted from the FIR.
On January 12, Anasuya lodged a complaint naming 44 persons and attaching 76 links of abusive social media content targeting her. She stated that the harassment began after she expressed her views on women’s clothing at a media briefing on December 20, shortly after actor Shivaji faced controversy over similar remarks.
The actress also alleged that her images were edited using AI tools to create sexually explicit content, which was then circulated widely across Instagram, X and YouTube.
