Virosh team files cyber complaint over fake online narratives

The team representing actors Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna, known as Virosh, has submitted a formal complaint to Cyber Crime authorities in Hyderabad seeking an impartial investigation into allegedly false and misleading online content. The complaint, filed on Monday, 26 October, identifies fabricated narratives, manipulated screenshots, impersonation and targeted harassment across social media platforms, with relevant links and evidence submitted for examination.

In a statement, the Virosh team said it respects freedom of speech and the right to express criticism, but distinguished between genuine opinion and presenting fabricated claims as facts. It urged authorities to investigate any suspected coordinated or paid campaigns where evidence supports such activity. Each instance of publishing, reposting or amplifying potentially unlawful content may be examined individually, with legal action pursued where warranted. The team called on social media users to avoid sharing unverified claims.
