Telugu Actress Dimple Hayathi, Husband Booked by Hyderabad Police for Assaulting Domestic Help: Report

The 22-year-old domestic worker alleged repeated abuse including food denial and assault attempts, leading to police registering a case under sections for assault and intimidation.

  • On October 01, Film Nagar police registered a case after Priyanka Bibar, 22-year-old domestic worker, complained against Telugu actress Dimple Hayathi and her husband David for harassment and assault.
  • The complainant said she began work on September 22 at Vamsiram Westwood Apartment, Shaikpet, Hyderabad, arriving from Rayagada through Sri Sai Goodwill Service, and alleged ongoing humiliation and denial of proper food, including being told, `Your life is not even equal to our shoes.`
  • Attempting to record the abuse, the maid says David snatched and smashed her phone during a September 29 scuffle in which her clothes were torn before she escaped with her agent's help.
  • Police registered the case under Sections 74, 79, 351, and 324 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, and Inspector Santosham said a notice has been issued but the couple has not yet responded.
  • The actress's sizable social following—over 1 million—coupled with film credits including Atrangi Re, Ramabanam and Khiladi, contrasts with a 2023 incident involving an IPS officer's vehicle.
