Legal Case Filed Against Vijay Deverakonda Over Alleged Insensitive Remarks on Tribals

Actor Vijay Deverakonda has been booked under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act over controversial remarks made during the pre-release event of the film Retro. The FIR was filed after he allegedly compared Pakistanis to tribals from 500 years ago while commenting on the Kashmir terror attacks. The complaint, lodged by a tribal rights leader, accuses the actor of making racially insensitive comments that hurt tribal sentiments. Following widespread backlash, Vijay issued a public apology, clarifying that his words were misunderstood and not meant to offend any community.
