VRK booked after law student hospitalised on diet advice
Cyberabad police have booked social media personality Veeramachineni Ramakrishna (VRK) and Koteshwara Rao after a 30-year-old law student with type-1 diabetes said he was advised to stop insulin and later hospitalised with diabetic ketoacidosis. The complainant visited the VRK Health Care Centre in Raidurg on 12 September 2026 and paid Rs 26,000 for supplements and services. He was admitted to a private hospital two days later and discharged on 17 September with medical expenses of Rs 58,219.
A case has been registered at Raidurgam police station under sections of the BNS including cheating and endangering human life, as well as the National Medical Commission Act and the Drugs and Magic Remedies Act. The complainant has also approached the consumer court seeking compensation. Separately, the Healthcare Reforms Doctors Association said it secured a civil court order on 29 September restraining VRK from publishing content involving unauthorised medical advice and has asked Meta and YouTube to remove the content.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both Times of India and Siasat report the same facts: the FIR, the sections invoked, the Rs 26,000 fee, the Rs 58,219 hospital bill and the civil court gag order obtained by the HRDA. The coverage is uniform straight reporting with no discernible slant. Neither source questions the complainant's account nor includes a statement from VRK or the centre. The story leaves open the outcome of the police investigation, the consumer court petition and the platform takedown requests, all of which are pending.
