Bigg Boss 7 violence: RTC officials ask police to take serious action

Fans of Big Boss Telugu 7’s winner, Pallavi Prashanth, and runner-up Amardeep Chowdary took their celebrations to an unfortunate extreme, resulting in a rampage outside Annapurna Studio in Hyderabad on Sunday night. Following the announcement of Prashanth as the winner by actor Nagarjuna, the winner’s fans began their celebrations. However, a disagreement between fans of Prashanth and Amardeep escalated into a clash. The situation turned chaotic as fans vandalized a police vehicle, four Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) buses, and cars belonging to contestants in the Jubilee Hills area.

The violence reached a disturbing peak when a group surrounded Amardeep’s car, preventing it from moving. They attempted to attack the vehicle, smashing its windows and demanding Amardeep to step out. The intensity of the incident frightened Amardeep’s mother and wife, who were also in the car. Promptly informed, the police arrived and dispersed the rival groups using lathi charge. The police then escorted Amardeep and his family members to safety.

Not only did the fans target the vehicles of the winner and the runner-up, but they also vandalized the cars of other contestants, including Ashwini Sri from this season and Geetu Royal from the previous season. Jubilee Hills Police registered a case related to the violence and are actively working to identify the culprits by reviewing CCTV footage and video clips circulating on social media.

The Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) Managing Director, V. C. Sajjanar, condemned the attack on six RTC buses and emphasized that such incidents are an assault on society. He affirmed that the TSRTC management will not tolerate such actions, highlighting the responsibility to protect public property like TSRTC buses. The incident underscores the need for responsible fan behavior and the importance of maintaining civility and respect during celebratory moments, even in the realm of reality television.
