Tollywood filmmaker Pavan Sadineni is booked by police after a woman files a complaint alleging sexual abuse, physical assault, and deception linked to promises of marriage. The woman says Sadineni assured her of financial help and support for film opportunities for more than a year while maintaining that she would be married.
According to the complaints described by multiple outlets, the allegations also include that he continued to make promises during the period when the relationship involved sexual relations, and that she was coerced into continuing despite the assurances. Times of India reports the complaint is lodged with Golconda Police on August 7, 2026, and that police register a case under sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. NDTV similarly reports that he is arrested following the allegations and is sent to custody as the investigation proceeds.
Outlet coverage focuses on the same core claims—sexual abuse, assault, and alleged false promises—while differing mainly in the additional timeline and specific procedural details highlighted.
