**Vijay Deverakonda Faces Police Complaint Over Tribal Remarks**
**Hyderabad, India – June 22, 2025** – Tollywood star Vijay Deverakonda is under investigation after a complaint was filed against him for allegedly making disparaging remarks about tribal communities at a pre-release event for the Tamil film “Retro.”
Ashok Kumar Rathore, a leader of a tribal association, filed the complaint with the Rayadurgam police, claiming Deverakonda’s comments at the April 26 event insulted tribal people by likening them to terrorists. The actor made the remarks while discussing the Pahalgam terror attack, stating that India shouldn’t attack Pakistan because internal conflict would cause the people there to revolt, similar to how “tribals fought 500 years ago… without sense or common sense.”
Police have registered an FIR against Deverakonda under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and are investigating the matter.
Deverakonda previously issued a statement clarifying that he used the word “tribes” to refer to organized groups of people from centuries ago and did not intend to insult modern-day scheduled tribes. He apologized for any hurt caused by his statements.
