Hyderabad: The Malkajgiri Commissionerate Police have registered a case against boxer Purvik Munugapati for allegedly promoting and attempting to organize an unauthorized fighting event under the banner of ‘Brutal Fight Club.’

Sources said the organisers had recently approached Saroornagar police seeking approval to conduct the programme. However, permission was reportedly refused due to concerns over safety, law and order, and the nature of the street level combat activities planned during the event.

Following the continued online promotion of the event, the Malkajgiri Cybercrime police registered a case and took up investigation.

Officials are examining whether any legal provisions were violated and if similar events had been organized in the past without authorisation.

Police have warned that public events involving physical combat require prior approvals and adherence to safety regulations.
Strict action will be taken against unauthorised activities that could endanger participants and spectators, they said.
