She is also reportedly blackmailing a ruling party MP in Andhra Pradesh and threatening to expose porn films secretly shot on him with the women deputed by her.

She is even allegedly forcibly making use of one associate of the MP, Prasad, for various activities. Recently, she was reported to have fallen out with the company head from Kurnool and even hatched a plan to eliminate him by employing the services of some contract killers from Mumbai.

According to the police, Tara was earlier charged with several cases of prostitution in Bengaluru, Chilakaluripeta, Guntur and a few other places.

She was among those arrested from a brothel in 2005 by the Banjara Hills police. She grabbed the attention of the media and public in 2010 by filing a compliant against an SI of Guntur police station, alleging that he had tried to rape her maid servant.
