Nagarjuna to Give Statement in Defamation Case

Hyderabad: The Nampally Metropolitan Magistrate Court will record the statement of actor Nagarjuna Akkineni on Tuesday in the criminal defamation case filed by him against Telangana minister Konda Surekha.

The court will record the statement of Nagarjuna and two witnesses Yarlagadda Supriya and Venkateshwar Metla in the defamation case and will commence hearing.

His counsel Ashok Reddy on Monday put forward his arguments and requested to record the statements of the complainant.
