Telangana police have filed a First information Report (FIR) against a Telugu YouTuber for making inappropriate comments on a child on YouTube live video and strict actions will follow, Telangana DGP said on Sunday.
“We are committed to protecting all citizens, especially children. Offenders misusing social media for humor will face justice, and our team is diligently identifying them,” the DGP wrote.
This comes after the YouTuber Praneeth Hanumath along with his friends streamed a video of a father and daughter and made inappropriate comments. The video went viral with netizens expressing disgust over the YouTuber’s comments.
Telugu actor Sai Dharam Tej pulled up the video on his social media platform X and wrote, “This is beyond gruesome, disgusting and scary. Monsters like these go unnoticed on the very much utilised social platform doing child abuse in the disguise of so-called Fun & Dank. Child Safety is the need of the hour.”
The actor appealed to parents to protect their children from monsters on social media. He urged the chief ministers of both Telugu states to take necessary action to curb horrific acts like this in the future.
To whom so ever it may concern, my kind request to all the parents is to please use some sort of discretion when you post a video or photos of your kids as the world of social media has become ruthless and dangerous and is very difficult to control or stop these animals from…

Celebrities such as Chinmayi Sripaada, Manchu Manoj also came out in support of action against the YouTuber for this behaviour.
It’s appalling and intolerable to see individuals like @phanumantwo using social platforms to spread abuse and hate under the guise of humour. This behaviour is not only disgusting but also dangerous.
Over a year ago, I reached out to him through Instagram to support women… https://t.co/jQVlZEPqph
