YouTube User Accuses Senior Police Officer and IAS Officers of Involvement in Betting App Fraud; Faces Legal Action
Scoop on Hyderabad:
Hey there! Let's dive into some juicy gossip about Hyderabad, shall we?
Apparently, the Cyber Crime Police in Telangana has slapped a case on YouTuber Anvesh, for crying wolf in a YouTube video! This dude, based in Visakhapatnam, accused the state DGP and five IAS officers of being part of a whopping Rs 300 crore betting app scam. On his channel "Naa Anveshana", he claimed these officials accepted a boatload of cash to let betting apps operate and even have ads on the Hyderabad Metro Rail[2][3][4].
The victims of Anvesh's allegations? Some big names like Hyderabad Metro Rail Managing Director NVS Reddy, IAS officers Santhi Kumar, Dana Kishor, and Vikas Raj, were dragged into the messy affair, too.
But it looks like the YouTuber's claims didn't land well with the authorities. An FIR was filed against Anvesh based on a complaint by A Naveen Kumar, a constable working in the social media cell of Cyberabad Police Commissionerate. The police ain't too excited about Anvesh's allegations, considering them baseless and unverified[2][3].
With 2.4 million subscribers on YouTube and 2 million followers on Instagram, Anvesh has quite the audience. In the same video, he alleged that a whopping Rs 1,000 crore transactions happened through betting apps, and even named several Tollywood actors and social media influencers who were promoting and benefiting from the business[5].
And guess what? The Hyderabad Metro Rail Limited (HMRL) took action on the matter, removing ads related to betting apps from all metro premises after a Telangana High Court notice in response to a plea[5].
This scandal comes a few months after cases were registered against actors Rana Daggubati, Vijay Devarakonda, Prakash Raj, Manchu Lakshmi, Nidhi Agarwal, and 19 social media influencers for similar accusations[5].
