Bigg Boss Kannada 10 contestant arrested for wearing tiger claw pendant
(Web Desk) – Varthur Santhosh, a contestant on Bigg Boss Kannada 10 (a spinoff of the popular reality television series Big Brother), was detained for wearing a pendant allegedly containing a tiger claw inside the Bigg Boss house.
The development took place following a complaint made to the forest department.
N Ravindrakumar, the Bengaluru Urban Deputy Conservator of Forests, verified the arrest. A team from the forest department went to the scene of the shooting, he claimed, and discovered that the pendant did, in fact, contain a tiger claw.
The Wildlife (Protection) Act of 1972, which sternly forbids the wearing or displaying of any animal parts, is violated by the accused.
“After receiving the information, we went to the place where the shooting was taking place. We asked the staff to send Santosh out and when we checked the pendant, it was confirmed that it was a tiger claw. We took him into custody,” the officer said.
Santhosh, known for his involvement in the cattle trade and real estate in Varthur, Bengaluru, gained entry to Bigg Boss through his social media popularity.
Viacom 18, the parent company of Colors Kannada, the channel broadcasting Bigg Boss, declined to comment on the situation.
