Singer Rahul Sipligunj Booked Amidst Marriage Case Controversy

Singer Rahul Sipligunj has addressed recent reports concerning his involvement in a controversy where he was booked over alleged threats made to a woman in a marriage-related case. Sipligunj, known for his contribution to the Oscar-winning song 'Naatu Naatu,' shared a social media post with a proverb, stating it was "nearly the truth." He also indicated an intention to release a detailed video addressing the matter, though its release was pending.

A woman has filed a complaint accusing Rahul Sipligunj and eleven other individuals of threats, blackmail, and harassment. The complainant alleges that one of the accused, identified as Karpurapu Rahul Reddy, used the pretext of marriage to threaten her with the release of private pictures and videos. The complaint further states that Sipligunj allegedly threatened the woman and coerced her into providing a video statement.

In response to the allegations, the police in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, have registered a First Information Report (FIR) at the MVP police station. The case has been filed under several sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Information Technology (IT) Act, reflecting the serious nature of the accusations leveled against Sipligunj and the co-accused.
