Six Police Teams Hunt for Ram Gopal Varma Amid Social Media Controversy

Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has been booked in nine cases across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana for posting objectionable content on social media against Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan, and Minister Nara Lokesh. Despite being issued two notices by Ongole police, Varma has not appeared for questioning and has reportedly gone into hiding, fearing arrest.

Six police teams have been deployed to trace Varma, searching in Telangana, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala. However, Varma released a video yesterday stating that he has not absconded. Meanwhile, the Andhra Pradesh High Court is set to hear his anticipatory bail petitions today, with intense anticipation surrounding whether the court will grant him relief.
