Kalpika Ganesh Booked for Damaging Pub Property

Telugu actor and social media influencer Kalpika Ganesh has been booked by the Gachibowli Police in Hyderabad over an alleged altercation at a popular establishment, Prism Club & Kitchen. The incident, which reportedly took place on May 29, came to light after videos of the incident went viral on social media. The First Information Report (FIR) was filed based on a complaint by Deepak Bajaj, the Managing Partner of Prism Club & Kitchen.

According to the complaint, Ganesh, who was accompanied by a male guest, had food and drinks worth ₹2,200 at the pub. However, when it came time to pay the bill, she allegedly asked for a cheesecake to be given for free and became aggressive when the management offered her a brownie instead. The situation escalated as Ganesh reportedly threw the plate of brownie, causing a ruckus at the pub. She also allegedly made false accusations of rape and molestation on social media and verbally abused the police officers who were present at the scene. The case was registered under Sections 324(4), 352, and 351(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).

Kalpika Ganesh has acted in several popular films, including Orange, Julayi, Seethamma Vakitlo Sririmalle Cheetu, and Yashoda. Her last appearance was in the 2023 Telugu film Atharva. She has also acted in two Zee5 web series titled Ekkadiki Ee Parugu and Loser. The incident has sparked controversy, and fans are eagerly waiting for more information about the case.

The pub management claimed that the incident caused reputational damage to both the establishment and its staff, along with "property damage, verbal and physical abuse, false public narratives, and personal defamation involving staff families." Evidence such as CCTV footage, videos recorded by staff and guests, and witness testimonies was cited to support their claims. The police are investigating the matter, and Kalpika Ganesh's actions are being scrutinized by the authorities.
