Late Telugu actress Soundarya's husband Raghu GS has responded to the allegation against actor Mohan Babu who has been accused of murdering the actress in 2004. A police complaint was filed by a man named Chittimallu, who claims that Mohan Babu had been pressuring Soundarya and her brother to sell six acres of land in Shamshabad, but they refused. The conflict allegedly escalated, and after Soundarya’s death, Mohan Babu is said to have forcefully taken possession of the land.
Now in a statement issued to the press Raghu GS called the allegations ‘baseless’ and ‘false’.
