The crackdown on Telugu YouTubers promoting online betting apps is heating up, and PS officer and TGRTC VC and MD VC Sajjanar has taken a firm stance against those exploiting their followers for money.
After previously targeting YouTuber 'Local Boy' Nani, Sajjanar has now turned his focus to popular vlogger Bayya Sunny Yadav.
Sunny Yadav has been booked for promoting illegal betting apps under the guise of 'easy money' schemes.
His content, which misled viewers into believing small investments could yield massive profits, has been called out for pushing vulnerable youth into financial traps.

Police claim Sunny Yadav's actions were deliberate, driven by his dissatisfaction with his regular YouTube earnings.
Sajjanar minced no words in slamming such influencers, declaring that no amount of fame or followers should protect them from facing legal consequences for promoting harmful activities.
His strong message - "It's not right to kill innocent people for the sake of money" - reflects the growing concern that these influencers are risking lives by encouraging addictive gambling platforms.
This crackdown is indeed a much-needed initiative. Influencers like Sunny Yadav exploiting their followers by promoting online betting apps is highly irresponsible.
Many vulnerable youngsters fall into these traps, facing severe financial losses and even mental distress.
Taking legal action against these individuals is crucial to protecting the public from the dangers of online gambling scams.
