What The Mohan Babu-Manoj Feud Is About

All
is
not
well
between
veteran
Telugu
actor
Mohan
Babu
and
his
son
Manchu
Manoj.

Mohan
Babu
has
filed
a
police
complaint
against
his
son
Manchu
Manoj
and
daughter-in-law
Monika
claiming
that
he
has
been
threatened
by
them.
He
also
requested
the
police
to
provide
him
protection.

As
per
Mohan
Babu’s
police
complaint,
Manoj
along
with
‘some
anti-social
elements
employed
by
him
caused
a
disturbance
on
Sunday
at
his
house
Manchu
Town
in
Jalpally
in
Rangareddy
district.’

‘I
fear
for
my
safety,
my
valuables,
and
my
property.
I
have
been
informed
that
these
individuals
are
waiting
for
me
to
return
to
my
house
with
the
intent
to
harm
me
and
instil
fear,
compelling
me
to
abandon
my
residence
permanently.
All
those
individuals
are
anti-social
elements
and
are
causing
fear
and
threat
to
life
to
those
who
are
at
my
home,
including
me,’
Mohan
Babu
said
in
the
police
complaint.

Mohan
Babu
demanded
legal
action
against
Manoj,
Monika
and
their
associates.
He
also
urged
the
police
to
evict
them
from
his
property.

‘Provide
me
with
adequate
protection
to
ensure
my
safety
and
allow
me
to
access
my
home
without
fear,’
said
the
veteran
actor,
who
runs
a
chain
of
educational
institutions
including
Mohan
Babu
University.

But
in
a
turn
of
events,
Mohan
Babu
was
booked
for
allegedly
assaulting
a
journalist
at
his
residence
in
Jalpalli,
Rangareddy
district,
on
December
10.

The
incident
occurred
around
7:50
pm,
when
the
journalist,
along
with
other
media
personnel,
was
covering
the
ongoing
dispute
between
the
actor
and
his
son,
actor
Manchu
Manoj.

According
to
the
police
FIR,
a
formal
complaint
was
lodged
by
the
reporter,
and
the
statement
was
recorded
by
Sub-Inspector
B
Dayakar
Reddy
at
the
Pahadishareef
police
station.

The
complainant
recounted
that
he
and
other
journalists
were
invited
inside
the
house
by
Manchu
Manoj
at
8:05
pm
but
during
their
coverage,
Mohan
Babu
allegedly
confronted
the
journalist
in
an
aggressive
manner.

The
actor
is
accused
of
allegedly
forcibly
grabbing
the
reporter’s
microphone
and
cell
phone,
using
abusive
language,
and
physically
attacking
the
journalist
with
the
microphone,
which
reportedly
contained
a
steel
pipe
and
metal
logo.
The
assault
reportedly
left
the
journalist
with
a
severe
head
injury
that
caused
significant
bleeding.

The
journalist
was
taken
to
the
Trident
Hospital
in
Shamshabad,
where
he
received
medical
attention.

Meanwhile,
the

Hindustan
Times
newspaper
reports
that
Manoj
filed
a
counter
complaint
against
his
father,
alleging
that
10
unidentified
people
entered
his
house
on
Sunday
night.
When
he
confronted
them,
a
fight
broke
out.

‘It
deeply
saddens
me
to
address
the
malicious,
false,
and
baseless
allegations
raised
against
me
and
my
wife,
Mounika,
by
my
father,
Dr
M
Mohan
Babu.
These
claims
are
not
only
untrue
but
also
part
of
a
deliberate
effort
to
defame
me,
silence
my
voice,
and
create
unnecessary
family
strife,’
Manoj
Manchu
posted
on
X.

Mohan
Babu
has
three
children.
Vishnu
and
Lakshmi
are
born
to
his
first
wife
Vidya
Devi
while
Manoj
is
his
son
from
Vidya
Devi’s
younger
sister
Nirmala
Devi,
whom
he
married
after
Vidya’s
demise.

The
family
feud
reportedly
started
a
couple
of
years
ago
but
came
to
light
in
2023.

The

Hindustan
Times
states
that
Vishnu
had
been
living
with
his
family
at
his
father
Mohan
Babu’s
residence,
while
Manoj
had
been
living
separately.
In
2023,
Vishnu
moved
out
and
Manoj’s
mother
Nirmala
Devi
asked
her
son
to
move
in
with
them.

But
the
same
year,
Manoj
posted
a
video
on
Facebook
and
claimed
that
Vishnu
barged
into
his
house
and
beat
up
two
persons.
Manoj
did
not
state
the
reason
for
the
dispute
but
claimed
that
it
happened
often.
He
deleted
the
video
later.

The
family
feud
is
reportedly
due
to
the
division
of
the
family
business
and
properties.
