Watch: Manchu Manoj denied entry into home after filing car theft complaint against brother Vishnu

A day after filing a police complaint against his brother and actor Manchu Vishnu over the alleged theft of his car, Manchu Manoj arrived at the family residence in Jalpally on the outskirts of Hyderabad. However, he was denied entry and was seen sitting in front of the locked gate.

Hyderabad: Tension prevailed yet again at senior actor Manchu Mohan Babu’s residence as his younger son and actor Manchu Manoj staged a protest demanding his entry at Jalpally in Pahadishareef on the city outskirts on Wednesday.

However, the staff did not open the gate for him to enter. Also, a warning board was installed at the gate saying that no one could enter without permission.

Manoj, who squatted near the gate, alleged that though the court had granted him permission to enter the premises, Mohan Babu’s staff did not allow him. His wife Bhuma Mounika too reached the spot.

Meanwhile, the Pahadishareef police, knowing about Manchu Manoj’s arrival, deployed a huge force at Mohan Babu’s residence and also set up a picket to prevent any untoward incident.

Earlier on Tuesday, Manoj had complained to the Narsingi police that his car was missing and accused that his elder brother and actor Manchu Vishnu had illegally trespassed into his house with henchmen in his absence and destroyed the belongings in the first week of April. They towed away his cars as well apart from assaulting Manoj’s personal security.

Speaking to media persons, Manoj claimed that it was not a property dispute, but for the future of the students of the Mohan Babu University. He told his father that he did not need a share in the property.

“The police have not filed a charge sheet since last December nor taken any action against those who had come to attack us with lethal weapons. The High Court allowed me to stay in this house. But they misled the court and brought a stay,” Manoj said.

He further challenged that if the CCTV footage of the house was made public, the atrocities of Vishnu and his henchmen will be known to the public. He accused Vishnu of violating the boundover done by the Rachakonda Police Commissioner on several occasions.

 

Differences cropped up in the family of Mohan Babu late last year following alleged property disputes.

Manoj had earlier lodged complaints against Mohan Babu and Manchu Vishnu. Cases were also registered against Manoj on the complaint by his father and brother.

On February 3, Manchu Mohan Babu and Manchu Manoj appeared before the Rangareddy District Collector and District Magistrate over a property dispute.

They indulged in a verbal exchange in front of the Collector. Mohan Babu complained that Manoj had encroached on his property.

Mohan Babu, a former member of Rajya Sabha, demanded that Manoj vacate his house. He argued that Manoj could not stake a claim to the property bought with the money earned by him.

Mohan Babu wrote a letter to officials, seeking protection under the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act. He alleged that Manoj illegally entered his residence in Jalpalli and was demanding property rights.

The house at Jalpally had also witnessed a clash on December 10. Mohan Babu and his sons were booked under BNS sections 329 (4) (criminal trespass and house trespass) and 115 (2) (voluntarily causing hurt) r/w 3 (5) in connection with the incidents that occurred at the house.

Mohan Babu had landed in further trouble when he attacked a television reporter after snatching the mike from his hand. He was booked for an attempt to murder.

Actor Manchu Vishnu, who is backing his father in the dispute and Manoj separately appeared before Rachakonda Police Commissioner Sudheer Babu in response to the summons issued to them.

In January, Manoj was stopped from entering Mohan Babu University by police in Tirupati.
