Hyderabadi behind hate websites
Hyderabad, March 4: The management of Chiranjeevi Blood Bank on Thursday lodged a complaint with the Central Crime Station here that some persons were maligning the image of actor-turned-politican Chiranjeevi through a website, www.ihatechiru.com, by posting damaging information and morphed photographs on it.
The complaint comes close on the heels of a case initiated against some persons for operating a website, www.ihatebalayya.com, to spread hatred against film actor Nandamuri Balakrishna. J Satyanarayana, DCP (Detective) told that a few staff members of Chiranjeevi Blood Bank approached the CCS on Thursday and lodged complaint that a few unidentified persons were operating a hate website defaming Chiranjeevi and his family members posting ugly content and morphed photographs.
A number of blogs and websites are being operated allegedly by the two actors' fan clubs from the USA, Australia and some other countries with morphed images and videos with derogatory, defamatory and highly offensive messages. The websites are www.Ihatechiru.com, www.ihatebalayya.com, www.wehatebalayya.blogspot.com , www.wehatechiru.blogspot.com , www.anti-balayya.blogspot.com and www.jokesonchiru.com.
While one portal is allegedly defaming Balakrishna, NTR Junior, Kalayanram and Tarakaratna of the NTR family, another is lampooning Chiranjeevi and his brothers Pavan Kalyan and Nagendra Babu, son Ram Charan Teja and his nephew Allu Arjun, Allu Aravind, and even the blood bank with morphed photographs and offensive writings. The DCP said that they booked a case against the site owners of www.ihatechiru.com under Sections 46 and 66 of the Information Technology Act.
'Same person' behind sites defaming actors
A Hyderabadi living in Sydney is behind hosting the websites with objectionable content about film stars N. Balakrishna and Chiranjeevi, investigators have found. Police sources on Thursday said the investigation into a case registered following a complaint lodged by Mr. Balakrishna revealed the website as being hosted from Sydney, Australia. The person got the website hosted through 'Go Daddy', an Internet domain registrar and website hosting company.
Investigators stumbled upon evidence suggesting that the person who hosted the websites was in Hyderabad till 2007 before leaving for Australia. He initially hosted the website offending Chiranjeevi and then Balakrishna. The Cyber Crime police station of Hyderabad wrote to Go Daddy company seeking details of the person. 'Once the details are available, we can seek the help of Interpol to catch that person and bring him here for prosecution,' the police said.
