Hyderabad: A businessman approached the LB Nagar police
with a complaint against Tollywood actor Pawan Kalyan for publishing fake Rs 50
notes with his photograph on it.
The
complainant, B. Raju, alleged that the currency notes are being circulated on
social networking sites, with Pawan Kalyan’s photo replacing Mahatma Gandhi’s image
on the notes.
Though the
complainant produced a photograph of the note being circulated online, the
police is yet to ascertain if Pawan Kalyan has any role in it. The police
suspects it is the handiwork of some crazy fan of the actor.
“We are
conducting an inquiry. A note written on it says that had Pawan Kalyan been
politically active 50 years ago, his photo would have been on Indian currency
instead of Gandhiji’s,” said a police officer from LB Nagar police station. The
police is yet to book a case.
