ONGOLE: Tollywood director Ram Gopal Varma has been given another week to appear before the Prakasam district police for an inquiry related to a cybercrime case filed at Maddipadu Police Station.
The Ongole Rural Police have rescheduled his appearance to November 25, following his request for additional time.
Commissioner N Srikanth Babu confirmed that fresh notices were sent to RGV through both WhatsApp and registered post on Wednesday.
The Tollywood director had earlier communicated through his advocate that due to prior film commitments, he was unable to attend the scheduled inquiry on November 19th. He requested a one-week extension, which was granted by the authorities.
In response to the police summons, Ram Gopal Varma reportedly agreed to cooperate, assuring officials that he would not evade the inquiry unless he receives a court order to do so.
Meanwhile, Ram Gopal Varma has filed an anticipatory bail petition in the court to avoid arrest.
The court is expected to hear his petition on Thursday, which may determine the next steps in the investigation.
Previously, Ram Gopal Varma had been personally served the notice at his Jubilee Hills residence, but his absence raised concerns, prompting the rescheduled inquiry.
Police officials are optimistic that he will comply with the new date.
