The Telangana Police have filed an FIR against 25 actors and social media influencers, including popular Telugu film stars, for allegedly promoting illegal betting applications. The complaint was lodged by a businessman who learned that people were investing in gambling apps due to endorsements from celebrities. The celebrities were accused of accepting payment to promote these platforms, leading people to gamble away their money. The police have booked the celebrities under various sections of the Telangana State Gaming Act and the Information Technology Act, including cheating and identity theft. This incident comes after the recent arrest of actor Allu Arjun in connection with a stampede that resulted in a woman’s death at the premiere of his film. This controversy is expected to have significant implications in the Telugu film industry.
