A case was registered against filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma for allegedly posting morphed images of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu and Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan on social media.

Prakasam district superintendent of police AR Damodar said Varma was booked for allegedly morphing the pictures of Naidu, Kalyan and their family members and posting them on social media.

“We registered a case against Ram Gopal Varma at Maddipadu police station (Prakasam district) for morphing the photographs of the present CM (Naidu), Deputy CM (Kalyan) and their family members in an offensive way,” Damodar told PTI.

According to the official, the case was registered on the basis of a complaint received from Ramalingam (45).

The complaint was lodged on Sunday night against the filmmaker for allegedly uploading derogatory posts on social media, which reportedly undermined the standing of the CM, Deputy CM and their family members in society.
