Two former contestants of Kannada reality show Bigg Boss were booked for brandishing weapons on social media, the police said on Monday.
The suspects, Rajath Kishan and Vinay Gowda, both residents of Bengaluru, were arrested by the Basaveshwaranagar police. They were initially issued notices to appear before the police.
However, the machete seen in the video appears to be made of fibre, and thus they cannot be sent to judicial custody, DCP West Bengaluru told ANI.
'Right steps were taken,' he assured.
The two were initially booked under Section 270 (public nuisance) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and relevant provisions of the Arms Act.
