The TV anchor filed a police complaint against her and an investigation about the same is ongoing. The 31 year old businesswoman identified as Bhogireddy Trishna who operates a digital marketing business in Hyderabad, has been apprehended by the police for stalking and abducting with the intention of marrying him. 

Speaking about the kidnapping, Commissioner of Police from Malkajgiri, K Purushotham Reddy said, “A kidnapping case was registered in the Malkajgiri subdivision, under the Uppal police station by Pranav Sista, a software engineer and TV Anchor against a woman named Bogireddy Trishna who wanted to marry him. Pranav refused to marry her. The woman has been arrested by Uppal police and the search for others is underway. Using the technical evidence the case is registered and she will be sent to court.”

Trishna, allegedly attached a tracking device on Pranav’s car to monitor his movement and stalk him. She even got people to kidnap him and torture him till he agreed to her wishes. After filing a case against her, Trishna was booked under 363 (kidnapping), 341 (wrongful restraint), 342 (wrongful confinement), and relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). 

The whole fiasco began when Trishna saw Pranav’s picture on a matrimonial site and they began chatting. However after a while, she realised that the person holding the account was not Pranav but someone else using his picture. She then somehow found Pranav’s real phone number and started contacting him. He then filed a case with the cyber crime as Trishna continued harassing him.
