Three YouTubers have been booked for allegedly threatening and demanding money from a jeweller in AS Rao Nagar. Kushaiguda police served notices to the accused, who requested few days to provide their explanations.
According to reports, 58-year-old Hyderabad jeweller Gudiwada Ramanlal, who has been running Lucky Jewellers for 30 years, lodged a complaint stating that Duvada Shiva Prasad (Bhartah Varsa YouTube channel), Lalitha Kumar (Hindu Jana Shakti channel), and Harikrishna (Yedhi Nijam channel) posted defamatory videos about his business and demanded money to take them down.
Despite paying Rs 1.5 lakh, the harassment continued, with the YouTubers demanding an additional Rs 60 lakh and issuing death threats if the money was not paid.
