Police file case against Preethi Varma's parents

Chennai, Apr 1 (UNI) The city police has filed a case against the parents of actress Preethi Varma for allegedly trying to push their daughter into flesh trade.

The actress, who presented herself before the Egmore Principal Sessions Court here on March 28 after suddenly disappearing for over a month, had accused her parents of making attempts to force her into prostitution.

The up-and-coming actress told court that she would not go back to her parents as she wanted to lead an independent life.

Stating that she was forced to leave the house, unable to put up with her parents' intimidating tactics, she had sought the legal action against them for trying to force her into prostitution.

The police had registered cases against the actor's parents -- Ramya and Bharath Kumar -- who were expected to be arrested soon.
