Allu Aravind Takes a Dig at Dr. Rajasekhar, Jeevitha

Allu Aravind, a leading producer and brother-in-law of Chiranjeevi, claimed that he didn’t give up on his fight against Dr. Rajasekhar and Jeevitha (without naming them) and ensured that they get stringent punishment for their baseless utterances. “Someone made false allegations against Chiranjeevi Blood Bank and its service motto. I fought for 12 years to get them deserving jail term. I think that is more than enough to show my immense love for Chiranjeevi, ” said Aravind at the ‘Bholaa Shankar’ event.

Earlier, actor Rajashekar and his actress-wife Jeevitha were sentenced to two years imprisonment and imposed a Rs 5,000 penalty in a defamation suit filed against them for their allegations against Chiranjeevi Blood Bank in 2011. The 17th Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Court in Nampally Criminal Court pronounced the conviction in the defamation case filed by producer Allu Arvind.

In 2011, the two alleged that Chiranjeevi Blood Bank, run by megastar Chiranjeevi, sold the blood that was collected free of cost from donors at Rs 850 per unit. They also alleged large-scale irregularities in the blood bank and Chiranjeevi's Charitable Trust, which received Rs 14.5 lakh from the state government for the maintenance of the blood bank. Allu Aravind is Chiranjeevi’s brother-in-law.

However, the actor-duo was granted bail by the same court on the same day so as to give them time to appeal the order.
