Hyderabad: A criminal case has been registered against prominent Telugu film personalities, including Venkatesh, Rana Daggubati, Abhiram Daggubati and Suresh Babu in connection with a controversial demolition of Deccan Kitchen Hotel.
The FIR has named producer Suresh as accused number one (A1), his brother Venkatesh as A2, Sureshâ
s son and actor Rana Daggubati as A3 and Ranaâs brother and producer Abhiram Daggubati as A4.
Film Nagar Police registered a case under sections 448, 452, 458 and 120B for trespass and criminal conspiracy under BNS.
On Saturday, the Nampally court had directed police to register a case and take action for violation of court orders.
The courtâs order was based on a complaint by Nanda Kumar accusing Venkatesh and his family members of illegal demolition.
Despite a pending injunction from City Civil Court and orders from Telangana High Court, the accused unlawfully entered the property and caused damage with the help of anti-social elements, the complainant alleged.
Official records say that the Daggubati family had leased their property in Film Nagar to Nanda Kumar, a businessman and a suspect in an MLA purchase scandal. Nanda had been operating Deccan Kitchen on the leased land, but disputes arose over the lease agreement, leading to legal confrontation.
