The Telugu film industry in Hyderabad was shaken with shocking news on Saturday that a woman journalist filed a sexual harassment case against Yuvasamrat Akkineni Nagarjuna, the heart-throb of girls in the industry.
The scribe, Sunitha Chowdary, who regularly contributes film reports and reviews to national daily The Hindu for its Hyderabad edition, lodged a complaint with the Jubilee Hills police against Nagarjuna under Section 506 (illegal confinement of a person) and Section 509 (outraging the modesty of a woman) of the Indian Penal Code.
The police have registered the case against Nagarjuna and are investigating. The details of what exactly had happened between the woman reporter and Nagarjuna and where are not exactly known.
But inquiries revealed that Sunitha Chowdary, who is also a member of the State Film Censor Board, reportedly complained to the police that Nagarjuna had harassed her mentally and physically and abused her in filthy language.
The girl has switched off her mobile for other scribes.
