Vijay Deverakonda's legal troubles
Meanwhile, Vijay also found himself in the centre of multiple controversies in the past few days. In June, he was booked under the SC/ST Act due to his controversial remarks on the tribal community at a Hyderabad event in April.
Speaking on the India-Pakistan tensions at the event, Vijay had said, "India doesn’t even need to attack Pakistan because Pakistanis themselves are fed up with their government and will attack them if this continues. They behave like tribals did 500 years ago, fighting without common sense," and this had irked the tribal community.
Besides, he was also booked in an illegal betting app scam case earlier this month, as he was accused of promoting malicious betting apps and misguiding the youth.
