Telugu actor Jagadish, known for his role alongside Allu Arjun in “Pushpa,” has been arrested by the Hyderabad police in connection with a blackmail case. This incident has captured public attention for its severity. The Punjagutta police apprehended him recently, and he has since been presented in court.
The distressing turn of events began when a young actress tragically ended her life, allegedly due to blackmail by Jagadish. It is reported that he had taken a photo of the actress with another individual on November 27 and subsequently threatened to circulate it on social media. This distressing ordeal led the actress to take her own life on November 29.
Evading law enforcement for several days, Jagadish was finally apprehended today by the Punjagutta police. His role as Keshava, Allu Arjun’s friend in “Pushpa: The Rise,” gained him recognition, and he is also set to feature prominently in the sequel. However, his absence from public view over the past week came to an end with his arrest today.
Jagadish’s arrest stems from allegations of harassment against a junior artist, resulting in her tragic demise. The victim’s father presented substantial evidence to the Panjagutta police, leading to the registration of a case against Jagadish and his subsequent arrest.
Given Jagadish’s involvement in “Pushpa 2,” there is speculation about the potential impact of his arrest on the film’s production. It remains to be seen how this development will affect the ongoing filming process.
