When the case came up for hearing, the court issued an interim order restraining Roopa from making any comment or allegation against the petitioner. Adjourning the hearing till March 7, the court also ordered to issue notice to the respondent to file objections before the next date of hearing.
Roopa took to social media and stated, “I would like to tell you all that I am extremely grateful to the Hon’ble Court for giving me the opportunity to hear me out, while not passing the order exparte. I will submit my prayer and submissions before the Hon’ble Court. Satyameva Jayate.”
Roopa thanks well-wishers for support
Thanking her friends and well-wishers, Roopa posted, “I am overwhelmed by so much support pouring in from all of you. My message box is flooded with your messages of support and concern. Thanks.” Meanwhile, Sindhuri wrote to the city police commissioner asking to register an FIR against Roopa. “Roopa has defamed me through her social media profiles.
