Anasuya Files Cyber Crime Case; Youth Arrested for Obscene Social Media Posts

Popular anchor Anasuya Bharadwaj has joined a growing list of Telugu celebrities taking legal action against social media harassment, with cybercrime police arresting a youth for posting obscene content targeting her on Instagram.

The 30-year-old accused, identified as Dorepalli Chanti from Alwal village in Nalgonda district, was apprehended by Cyberabad cybercrime police following technical evidence gathering. According to the complaint filed by Anasuya's team, the harassment had been ongoing since December 2025, with the accused consistently targeting the anchor with personal abuse and extremely vulgar content on social media platforms.

This arrest comes in the wake of a broader crackdown on celebrity harassment online. Senior actress Renu Desai recently approached cybercrime police after facing similar abuse, which even extended to her children. That case resulted in four arrests, signaling law enforcement's increasingly serious approach to digital harassment of public figures.

Anasuya, who maintains an active social media presence sharing glamour photos and commenting on social issues, has faced mounting criticism and trolling in recent months. However, what began as typical social media negativity appears to have crossed legal boundaries into criminal territory.

The police have registered the case under multiple stringent sections including Indian Penal Code sections 75, 79, 336(4), 351, and 356, along with IT Act sections 66E (privacy violation) and 67 (obscene content publication). These comprehensive charges reflect the serious nature of online harassment and the legal system's evolving response to cybercrime.

The incident highlights a troubling trend where social media platforms become weapons for targeted harassment of celebrities, particularly women in the entertainment industry. With both Renu Desai and Anasuya cases making headlines, there's growing awareness that legal recourse exists for victims of such abuse.

For Telugu film personalities who rely on social media for fan engagement and career promotion, these cases set important precedents about where the line is drawn between criticism and criminal harassment.
