Actor Nagarjuna Akkineni recently revealed that one of his family members was subjected to a `digital arrest` by fraudsters for two days, six months ago. The Telugu superstar was speaking at a press conference with city Police Commissioner VC Sajjanar and other film personalities. Nagarjuna said the perpetrators vanished quickly once the police intervened.
"I remember in my own house, about six months ago, the same thing happened. One of my family members was digitally arrested for two days. These organisations (fraudulent) will track us and try to find out our weaknesses," the actor told reporters.
