Vanga Under Fire After Andhra School Chainsaw Horror
Triggering debate over glorifying extreme weapons in school settings on screen: Reports
A brutal chainsaw attack in Andhra Pradesh has dragged filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga into controversy.
The incident happened at Zilla Parishad High School in Raptadu, where a 21-year-old man entered a Class 10 classroom and attacked a female student with an electric chainsaw. The crime shocked the state.
Soon after, Telugu netizens pointed fingers at Vanga.

Social media is now flooded with posts slamming Vanga. Netizens say films have social responsibility and showing extreme violence inside schools as heroic sets a dangerous precedent.
Many users are demanding filmmakers should stop glorifying weapons in classrooms just to build a hero’s image.
Cops are probing the Raptadu case, while Vanga has not yet reacted to the trolling.
