Cinematographer Shyam K Naidu

was summoned by the

on Wednesday based on a complaint filed by a junior artiste, who accused him of cheating her. In her complaint, the artiste alleged that Naidu, who worked in films like

Pokiri

, Rabhas and Dictator, had promised to marry her before they entered into a relationship, but changed his mind later.

“On Wednesday morning, a film artiste registered a complaint with us against cinematographer Shyam K Naidu. She alleged that Shyam had exploited her with the promise of marriage but is now refusing to do so. After registering the complaint, we called in Shyam for questioning. We’re currently investigating further,” said

According to cops, Shyam and the artiste have been together for over six months but the relationship went sour in recent times. At the time of going to print, an FIR had not been lodged by the complainant. “Both of them are in the police station and are trying to sort things out between themselves. If they don’t come to a settlement, we will book a case against Naidu under Section 493 of the IPC,” Thirupathanna added.
