A serious casting scam has reportedly surfaced in Delhi, involving an individual named Ayush Sahu. The case has raised concerns about safety in the entertainment industry. It highlights how aspiring artists can be targeted through false promises.

He reportedly targeted aspiring artists by offering entry into shows like Splitsvilla and The Traitors. These promises created trust among victims. Many believed the offers were genuine opportunities to enter the industry.

Ayush is also accused of creating fake documents. These reportedly included forged agreements using names like Viacom18 and MTV India. Fake emails and contracts were used to make the process look official and convincing.

The scam also involved manipulation tactics. The accused allegedly used celebrity names such as Tejaswi Prakash and Paras Chhabra. This helped build trust and reduce suspicion among those being approached.

Victims were then pressured into private meetings. These were presented as normal industry practices. In some cases, they were told such steps were necessary for selection, creating uncomfortable and unsafe situations.

Reports suggest that the case includes elements of coercion, harassment, and fraud. Several victims have come forward with similar experiences. The pattern indicates a repeated method used to exploit vulnerable individuals.

The accused reportedly shared an office address in Lajpat Nagar along with multiple contact numbers. These details added a sense of legitimacy. Such tactics made it easier to convince targets of the offer’s authenticity.

This case reflects a larger issue within the industry. It shows how ambition and lack of awareness can be misused. Strong legal action and public awareness are essential to prevent similar incidents in the future.
