‘Pushpa 2’s release may be just around the corner, but there is some news that’s surely going to leave a bad taste. Allu Arjun’s sidekick in ‘Pushpa’, played by Jagadeesh Prathap Bandari is in some major trouble. The actor has been arrested by Punjagutta Police in Hyderabad.

As per a recent report, the actor has been detained by the police in connection to the death of a young female junior artiste. It is being reported that the junior artiste ended her life by suicide on November 29. Also, it’s being said that during investigations by the police, it was revealed that the actor had allegedly secretly filmed the junior artiste while she was with another person. Reports further say that the actor had blackmailed the junior artiste and threatened her saying that he would publish her intimate pictures on social media. The stress of this entire situation is reportedly being said as the cause of the junior artiste hanging herself in her room.

What’s even more surprising is that the ‘Pushpa’ actor has been absconding ever since the news of the junior artiste’s death came out. However, he was finally caught by the police today and taken into custody.

Jagadeesh Prathap Bandari was last seen in ‘Satthi Gaani Rendu Yekaralu’. He will be next seen in ‘Extra Ordinary Man’ which also stars Nithiin and Sreeleela. Also, the upcoming film ‘Ambajipeta Marriage Band’ would have had the actor in question here.

The police haven’t given out a lot of details yet of the case. So, let’s wait and watch for further reports for more details on what exactly happened.
