Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma appeared before Ongole police in Andhra Pradesh concerning derogatory posts made against Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan, and their family members.
In response to a notice served by the police, Varma appeared before the inquiry officer at Ongole Rural Police Station.
The case was based on a complaint from Rama Lingam, mandal-level secretary of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), leading to a First Information Report (FIR) against Varma on November 11, 2024.
The filmmaker faced charges under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Information Technology Act for alleged offences, including electronic forgery, spreading false information, defamation, criminal conspiracy, promoting enmity, intentional insult, and publishing obscene material.
