A Tollywood actress was arrested by Banjara Hills police on Saturday for allegedly cheating gullible girls by promising them jobs but later turning them into prostitution.
The Banjara Hills police station said that Tara Chowdary was arrested under Prevention of Immoral Trafficking Act (PITA). When she was brought to the police station, she picked up an argument with constable Nageshwara Rao at the police station. A case of preventing a public servant from discharging his duties was also registered against her, Banjara Hills police said.
The police booked cases under Sections 364, 324, 444, 354 of IPC and 3, 4, 5 – Prevention of Immoral Traffic Act.
Tara Chowdhary, who acted in low-budget movies such as Adrushyam, Rakshakudu, Priya Sakhi and Love Ticket, was held twice before on the same charges.
