Bigg Boss Kannada 10: FIR filed against contestant Tanisha Kuppanda under SC/ST atrocities act for allegedly using derogatory language against Bhovi community
An FIR has been lodged against Tanisha Kuppanda, a contestant in the Bigg Boss Kannada season 10, under the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (SC/ST) Atrocities Act.
P. Padma, the state president of Akhil Karnataka Bhovi Samaj, filed the complaint at Kumbalagodu Police Station on the outskirts of Bangalore, alleging the use of derogatory language by Tanisha towards the Bhovi community.
The accusations stem from a recent conversation between Tanisha Kuppanda and fellow contestant Drone Pratap on the reality show where the former called him 'Vadda'. Tanisha's comments during the exchange have been deemed disparaging towards the Bhovi community, which falls under the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe category. This has ignited outrage among the Bhovi community, with calls for immediate action against the actress.
