The middle-aged man was allegedly harassing her and pressuring her to love him and was also sending her obscene messages on WhatsApp for quite some time. On Wednesday, things went a bit too far when Raghava Rao in a drunken state went to the flat where the girl was staying created a ruckus, asked her to come out, and insisted that she profess love for him.

Concerned about her welfare, the girl's friends called her family members. Meanwhile, they tried telling him to leave and Raghava Rao who was in an inebriated condition abused them using filthy language. He also warned them that he had the backing of Pawan Kalyan and the JSP cadre and they could not harm him in any way. The girl’s friends noticed that he came with a knife and grabbed the knife from Raghava Rao.

It is learned that the girl had also approached the police about the incident. However, it is reported that they hesitated to file a written complaint for fear of being harmed considering Raghava Rao's reputation.
