The Story in Brief
Singer Rahul Sipligunj, known for singing the Oscar-winning song 'Naatu Naatu' from the film 'RRR', is in the news for a police complaint. A woman has filed an FIR in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, naming him and 11 others for alleged threats and harassment related to a marriage dispute. TV9 Telugu first reported the case.
In an earlier unrelated event, Sipligunj had recalled meeting pop star Rihanna at the 95th Academy Awards. He told the Indian Express that Rihanna approached him and Kaala Bhairava for a photograph, praised their performance, and congratulated them on winning the Best Original Song Oscar. Sipligunj has responded to the FIR on social media, calling the news coverage 'very close to the truth' and hinting at releasing a video statement.
The Indian Opinion
The coverage around Rahul Sipligunj mixes a genuine achievement with a serious legal complaint. The singer's instagram post brushes off the FIR as 'close to the truth' without clarifying if he is innocent or guilty. This ambiguity feeds the lazy narrative that celebrity controversies are either trivial or overblown. One concrete number will settle minds: how many of the 12 accused have police clean chits? Until then, the story stays where it is.
