Property dispute: Telugu actor Mohan Babu, son Manoj lodge complaints against each other

Hyderabad, Dec 9 (PTI) Telugu actor Mohan Babu on Monday filed a police complaint, alleging that his younger son M Manoj and daughter-in-law "orchestrated" a plan to take possession of his home in the Jalpally area through intimidation and force.

M Manoj, who is also an actor, also lodged a complaint, alleging 10 unidentified persons had entered his home on Sunday before trying to flee when he noticed them.

Manoj said in his complaint lodged at Pahadishareef police station that he tried to catch them and there was a scuffle, which led to him suffering injuries, a police official said.

He also requested the police to take necessary steps to grant protection to him, his wife and their children and investigate the matter to ascertain the identity of those who had illegally entered his home.

Mohan Babu, in his complaint addressed to Commissioner of Police (Rachakond), alleged that Manoj and some anti-social elements hired by him caused disturbance at his residence on Sunday.
