Bigg Boss Telugu 7 winner Pallavi Prashanth arrested; Faces 14 days in Judicial custody

Just four days after emerging victorious in Bigg Boss Telugu season 7, Pallavi Prashanth, a popular YouTuber known as Raithu Bidda, finds himself in legal trouble. Prashanth, along with his brother Mahaveer, was arrested from their native village in Siddipet district on Wednesday night.

The arrest comes in connection with the violent incidents that unfolded outside Annapurna Studio in Hyderabad on December 17, immediately after Prashanth was declared the winner of the reality show. Both Prashanth and Mahaveer have been remanded to 14 days of judicial custody and were later shifted to Chanchalguda Jail.

After the reality show host and actor Nagarjuna declared Prashanth as the winner, fans of the finalists went on a rampage outside the studio, where the show was being held. Fans of the two finalists raised slogans and clashed.

They also damaged vehicles that were leaving the studio, including that of the participants. They also damaged six buses of Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC), a police vehicle, and private vehicles.

The TSRTC officials had also lodged a complaint with the police. Jubilee Hills Police had registered a case against Pallavi Prashanth, Mahaveer and others for causing nuisance and rioting under the IPC sections 147, 148, 290, 353, 427 r/w 149 and section 3 of Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act.
