Invoking Sections 505 of the IPC and 66 (D) of the IT Act, the police launched an investigation.
 
Revathi tweeted, "MY MEDAL OF HONOUR: AN FIR," in reaction to the FIR. The FIR that has been filed against me is a bizarre development, she said. "The real offenders from telangana Power & Co., who harassed a female customer in broad daylight, walk free!"
