Pastor Abhinay Darshan Attack Was a Scripted Drama, Say Police

Alluri Sitarama Raju District, Andhra Pradesh

: What was projected as a shocking attack on Pastor Abhinay Darshan has now turned into a sensational controversy. Police say the entire incident was a carefully scripted drama designed to mislead the public and create a wave of sympathy. 

According to district police, the pastor allegedly planned the episode in advance and even rehearsed the sequence with six associates. Investigators say the group discussed how the “attack” should unfold, what injuries should be shown, and how the incident would be presented to maximize public impact.

Superintendent of Police Amit Bardar said the case is being investigated from every angle. Officers are examining whether the alleged stunt was intended to gain sympathy, attract publicity, or trigger tension between religious communities.

Police have reportedly collected videos, witness statements, and other evidence that point to a pre-planned operation rather than a genuine assault. Authorities are also probing whether additional individuals were involved in executing and amplifying the incident.

The revelation has sparked outrage across the district, with many questioning the motives behind the alleged hoax. Police have warned that anyone attempting to spread false narratives and disturb communal harmony will face strict legal action.
