Actor-wrestler Saurav Gurjar remanded by Gachibowli police in sexual exploitation case

Actor and professional wrestler Saurav Gurjar has been remanded in judicial custody by the Gachibowli police following a sexual exploitation case. The incident allegedly took place after a woman met Gurjar through Instagram in 2021 and they began a relationship that continued despite her being in the United States and subsequently in Hyderabad.

The woman claimed that Gurjar promised to marry her and offered her equivalent wife rights, but later subjected her to harassment and blocked her phone number when she raised concerns about the marriage. Gurjar was intercepted at Mumbai airport on September 17 and later brought to Hyderabad, where he appeared before a magistrate and was remanded to judicial custody.

The case was registered on August 15 under Section 69 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, which deals with sexual intercourse through deceit.
