Sonu Srinivas Gowda, a notable figure from Bigg Boss Kannada OTT, was apprehended in Bengaluru, Karnataka, following a coordinated effort between officials from the Child Protection Office and local police on Friday morning.
The arrest comes in the wake of allegations that Sonu did not adhere to proper adoption procedures after publicly announcing the adoption of an 8-year-old girl.
Authorities claim that Sonu's motives were centered around seeking attention and social media popularity rather than genuine care for the child.
A formal case was filed against Sonu by the Child Protection Office, asserting that the adoption was orchestrated to solicit "undeserved sympathy" and elevate her celebrity status.
Sonu's Defence
Despite the accusations, Sonu maintains her innocence, asserting that she followed all necessary adoption protocols. In a bid to defend herself, she shared recorded evidence of communication between herself and the child's biological parents. Sonu insists that she intends to complete all formalities within the next three months.
Authorities Seek Answers
However, authorities remain skeptical, citing Sonu's lack of comprehensive information during questioning. Currently under the scrutiny of the Child Welfare Committee (CWC), Sonu faces inquiries regarding the adoption process and her underlying intentions.
Child's Fate Uncertain
As the investigation unfolds, the fate of the adopted child remains uncertain. The incident has sparked concerns about the welfare of children involved in adoption processes and highlighted the importance of adhering to established protocols.
Awaiting Further Developments
With Sonu's interrogation ongoing and the investigation progressing, the case continues to unfold, prompting reflections on the complexities surrounding adoption procedures and the responsibilities of public figures in such matters.
