Amidst rising celebrity controversies, Hyderabad's Central Crime Station has lodged an FIR against Bigg Boss Telugu alumna, Ashu Reddy, and her family. They are accused of defrauding a London-based software engineer of a staggering Rs 9.35 crore under false pretenses of marriage.

The complaint, proposed by Yenumula Satyanarayana Murthy of Shaikpet, details how Reddy allegedly cultivated a romantic relationship with his son, Y.V Dharmendra, promising marriage yet persistently soliciting substantial financial support. Reports claim she refused marriage twice, in 2020 and 2025, and manipulated financial transactions involving cars and properties.

In a bid to settle the brewing storm, actress Hema mediated discussions where blank cheques were supposedly handed over as repayment assurance. However, these were torn, further complicating the situation. Subsequent investigations reveal her family's alleged complicity in a suspected honey trap scheme, seeking extensive monetary exploitation and fraudulent gain.
