Anchor turned actor Pradeep Machiraju urged YouTube channels and websites to stop spreading nonsense about him.
He said some irresponsible media outlets are mentally harassing him without verifying facts.
Hyderabad police had registered a case based on the complaint by a Dalit girl, who said that she was raped by 140 men in the last 11 years.
She named some prominent media personalities, celebrities, and politicians.
However, police still have not revealed any names or filed cases on them but some YouTube channels and websites have started spreading malicious reports about Pradeep.
A list of popular names is doing the rounds and media has begun speculating his name.
He asked the media to check the facts before publishing.
Pradeep Machiraju has acted as a hero in “30 Rojullo Preminchadam Ela” which is waiting for the release.
