Shivaji, who was last year in the news for creating the 'Operation Garuda' fantasy, is once again in the news. Early on Wednesday, the small-time actor was all set to leave for the US from the Hyderabad port when the Cyberabad Crime Police swooped down on him and prevented him from catching the flight.

The actor has been wanted in a case related to Alanda Media, which is associated with the top news channel TV9. Several look-out notices issued by the police failed and the police finally detained him today. Reportedly, the airport authorities had spotted him and informed to the police. He was hoping to attend the soon-to-be-held TANA event in the US.

Analysts are saying that his arrest might be imminent after court intervention in the case in the near future.

He and sacked TV9 CEO Ravi Prakash are alleged to have colluded and wanted by the police.
