Telugu actor Tara Chowdhary’s sex racket case is turning big as the police found spy cameras in her house. The police said that her clients included several VIPs.

After arresting the actress two days back for allegedly forcing a girl into the sex trade and several other charges including preventing a public servant from discharging his duties, the police again searched her residence at the Navodaya Colony at Banjara Hills on Monday, and found pen cameras, laptop, porn CDs and a diary.

The case seemed to be turning big as the cops found that several VIPs, including MPs and DSPs were among her clients.

West Zone police said that a team from the Banjara Hills police station had searched her house on Monday afternoon and had seized the articles.

The police is verifying claims that her regular clients included an Opposition party’s former MP, a ruling party MP, a DSP, and a DG rank officer.

The raid also unearthed eight cellphones and 21 sim cards. The cops are analysing data from the cellphones and the laptop, which may reveal more VIP clients.

The police on Saturday arrested Tara Chowdari based on a complaint from a Vizag girl as she was cheated by the actor. The girl was brought to her house as a maid and was later forced into prostitution.

In addition to a case under the Prevention of Immoral Trafficking Act, the police had also registered a case against Tara Chowdhary for allegedly assaulting two constables after she was brought to the police station on Saturday.

R. Tara Chowdhary, who acted in low budget movies like Adrushyam, Rakshakudu, Priya Sakhi and Love Ticket was held earlier also for allegedly operating a brothel.

A native of Guntur, Tara took a posh house on rent at the Navodaya Colony in Banjara Hills.
