Cuttack: The Anubhav Mohanty-Varsha Priyadarshini marital strife took a fresh turn on Wednesday with the actress filing a complaint with Cyber Police in Odisha’s Cuttack city, alleging attempts on social media to tarnish her image and defame her.
Police have registered a case under Sections 509 of the IPC and 67 of the IT Act on basis of the complaint and further investigation is underway, sources said.
The actress had earlier lodged a complaint against Anubhav and his family at Purighat police station accusing them of assassinating her character. She objected to the videos being released on social media by the actor-turned-politician, having “unpalatable statements, which are defamatory in nature and aim at character assassination” even as the matter is sub-judice.
