The programs often rely on celebrities to build credibility, which leads to vulnerable individuals investing considerable amounts of money, only to face financial downfall. The Telangana police have charged the accused under various divisions of the TS Gaming Act and the IT Act, including section 66 (d) of the Information Technology Act, which deals with fraud and identity theft.
