Controversial director Ram Gopal Varma is safe for the time being. The court has restrained the police from taking action against him.Justice Harinath N posted the matter to December 9 for hearing, granting relief until then to the filmmaker. Varma’s advocate Rajagopallavan Tayi argued that pictures posted on social media platform ‘X’ are posters in promotion of a movie he made. The Director committed no offence and the complainants are not aggrieved persons to lodge a complaint.
Tayi said that on behalf of his client, he moved the HC seeking it to club all the cases against Varma and treat them as one. The petition is likely to come up on December 11. Prakasam district police served two notices to Varma asking him to appear before them for questioning in connection with the case against him.
However, Varma failed to show up, but expressed his willingness to appear “digitally” before the authorities. Varma in a press conference in Hyderabad on Monday pulled up a section of media, saying it is creating hype over the issue and speculating that he was avoiding arrest by absconding.But RGV is confident that there is no specific case against him. But he is evading the arrest from time to time.
