The violence erupted when fans of the Big Boss finalists went on a rampage after Prashanth was declared the winner. The unruly crowd chanted slogans, damaged vehicles, including those of the participants, and caused harm to six buses of the Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC), a police vehicle, and private vehicles. Runner-up Amardeep Chowdary's car was also damaged, but he escaped unharmed. The clash between the supporters of Prashanth and Amardeep led to the deployment of police force to control the situation.

Police had earlier registered cases against Prashanth and his followers for organizing a rally despite warnings, and another case for the damage caused to buses and vehicles during the violent incidents.

The arrests highlight the consequences of the chaotic aftermath of the reality show's finale, underscoring the need for maintaining law and order during such events.
