Police seize cash worth Rs 1.5 crore during vehicle check near volga hotel, Mangalhat

Hyderabad: Following the criticism by Dr Abby Philips, popularly known as the Liver Doc on actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu for suggesting an alternative medicine, Samantha reacted to it by saying that she would be more careful. However, Samantha has also expressed her disappointment on the doctor using ‘rather strong words’ and referring to the doctor mentioning about putting her behind the bars.

“A certain gentleman has attacked my post and my intentions with rather strong words. Said gentleman is a doctor too. I have no doubt that he knows more than I do. And I am quite sure his intentions were noble. It would have been kind and compassionate of him had he not been so provocative with his words. Especially the bit where he suggests I should be thrown in prison.”

She further added that “I posted as someone who needs medical treatments and not as a celebrity. And I certainly am not making any money from the post nor endorsing anyone. I was merely suggesting a treatment as an option after undergoing it myself, for others who may be looking for options because conventional medicine is not working for them. Especially more affordable options.”

Samantha defends her post, says suggested by doctor

Further, defending her post, Samantha said, “This treatment was suggested to me by a highly qualified doctor who is an MD, who has served DRDP for 25 years. He, after all his education in conventional medicine, chose to advocate an alternate therapy.”

She further said, “Doctor, it would have been nice had he politely invited my doctor, whom I have tagged in my post, rather than go after me. I would have loved to have learnt from that debate and discussion between two highly qualified professionals.”

Samantha also added that she would be more careful and said, “my intentions are only to help others. Not to harm anyone.”

Chandrababu Naidu will arrive at Begumpet Airport at 6 PM.

The rally will start at the airport and end at Naidu’s residence on Road No. 65, Jubilee Hills.

The police order, issued by Additional Commissioner of Police Vikram Singh Mann, IPS, details several conditions. The rally must stay on the extreme left side of the road, leaving the other half free for regular traffic. Participants must not cause any inconvenience to the general public or deviate from the permitted route. Firecrackers, flying cameras, drones, and inflammable balloons are strictly prohibited. Organizers must also deploy sufficient security guards and volunteers to assist the police in maintaining order and regulating traffic.

The T20 World Cup champions returned to a grand welcome in Mumbai on Thursday. A special victory parade saw a massive crowd gathering to celebrate the team’s success. Hyderabad will witness similar excitement as Siraj, a key player from the Telugu States, is honored.
