Two Arrested for Obscene Posts Against Darshan's Wife
Two people, a software engineer named Nithin and an auto-rickshaw driver named Chandrashekar B, were arrested in Bengaluru for posting mean and offensive things online about Vijayalakshmi Darshan, the wife of a famous actor.
Vijayalakshmi reported over 150 nasty comments on Facebook and Instagram.
The police are still looking for 16 more people who might have been involved.
This happened because the police wanted to stop people from being mean to others online.
The accused used bad language and tried to hurt Vijayalakshmi's reputation, but the police found them using special computer clues.
Two individuals, a software engineer and an auto-rickshaw driver, were arrested for posting obscene and derogatory content targeting Vijayalakshmi Darshan.
The complaint was filed on December 24, 2025, detailing over 150 offensive comments on social media platforms.
The arrested individuals are Nithin, a 31-year-old software engineer from Davanagere, and Chandrashekar B (Chandru), a 45-year-old auto-rickshaw driver from Chikkabanavara, Bengaluru.
