Hyderabad: The Film Nagar police have registered a criminal case against film producer Suresh Babu, actors Venkatesh Daggubati, Rana Daggubati, and Abhiram. The case has been booked under sections 448, 452, 458 of the IPC read with section 120(B) of the IPC.
The complaint was filed by the director of W3 Hospitality Services Pvt. Ltd., accusing the accused persons of illegal demolition and theft of property at two leased premises in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad. The complainant alleges that despite a pending injunction from the City Civil Court and orders from the Telangana High Court, the accused, including D. Suresh Babu (A1) and Venkatesh Daggubati (A2), unlawfully entered the properties and caused damage with the help of anti-social elements. The demolition was ordered by the GHMC but was halted due to the ongoing court case.
The complainant further claims that in 2022, while in judicial custody, the accused looted and damaged property worth approximately Rs. 20 crores. Attempts to stop further demolition on 13-11-2022 and subsequent dates were unsuccessful, with the accused allegedly threatening and assaulting the complainant’s staff.
A private complaint was filed, and the court took cognizance of the matter. The complainant is seeking further investigation and action under various sections of the IPC, including trespassing and criminal conspiracy, as demolition attempts continued in January 2024. The complaint has been referred to the Filmnagar Police Station for investigation.
