Police said that controversial film director Ram Gopal Varma is absconding and special police teams are searching for his whereabouts. The Ongole police gave RGV the opportunity to appear for questioning twice. However, RGV is requesting the police to appear for questioning digitally, for which the police refused.
It seems that the police are ready to arrest Ram Gopal Varma after he defied the notices despite being called for questioning twice. The police are exploring alternative ways as RGV’s phone has been switched off. It is reported that RGV is being tracked with the help of Telangana police.
It seems that special teams have been launched in Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Hyderabad. It is known that the Prakasam district police registered a case on the complaint of TDP leaders that RGV had posted inappropriate posts on Chandrababu Naidu, Pawan Kalyan and Lokesh during the YSRCP regime.
Ram Gopal Varma approached the AP High Court seeking anticipatory bail in this case. Arguments were held in the High Court on Tuesday on these petitions. The High Court adjourned the next hearing on anticipatory bail to Wednesday. However, since he did not appear for the questioning, the police announced that RGV was absconding.
Several cases have been registered against RGV in Ongole, Visakhapatnam and Guntur districts on charges of posting objectionable posts on social media. RGV recently filed a quash petition in the AP High Court to dismiss the case of inappropriate posts on social media. However, the court dismissed his petition.
Due to this, petitions were filed to grant anticipatory bail in this case. Police said that RGV and his staff have not been available since Monday morning. The AP police went to Varma Den in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad for Ram Gopal Varma and searched for him after finding out that he was not at home.The police went there after receiving information that RGV was hiding in a farmhouse in Shamshabad and Shadnagar, but turned back after finding out that he was not there.
