Kalpika Ganesh booked in Gachibowli: social media abuse sparks police action

Kalpika Ganesh, a 33-year-old actor and influencer, was booked by the Gachibowli police following a complaint of social media abuse and defamation lodged by the sister of a pub owner.

The complaint included substantial evidence such as screenshots, voice notes, and URLs supporting the allegations.

This police action follows an earlier incident on May 29 at a Gachibowli pub where Kalpika allegedly demanded her cheesecake be served free of cost. When the staff refused, she reportedly hurled abuses at the general manager, flung a brownie plate, and live-streamed the confrontation.

The case highlights the increasing scrutiny on public figures' conduct both offline and on social media platforms.

“The cybercrime police booked actor-influencer following a complaint lodged by the sister of a pub owner, who accused her of allegedly abusing and defaming their family on social media,” according to reports.

The incident has sparked discussions about accountability and responsible behavior in digital spaces, especially for influencers with large followings.

Kalpika Ganesh's booking by the police underscores the legal consequences of online abuse and public disturbances, reflecting a growing trend of law enforcement addressing social media misconduct.

The Gachibowli police continue to investigate the matter as the case develops.
