Telugu actor-producer Lakshmi Manchu recently posted a cryptic message on X, following the public fallout between her father, actor Mohan Babu, and her brothers, Manoj and Vishnu. The dispute reached a peak when both Mohan Babu and Manoj Manchu filed police complaints against each other, accusing one another of assault.
The Family Dispute and Police Involvement
The fallout began when Mohan Babu alleged that Manoj and his wife, Mounika, had illegally occupied his Jalpally residence. In contrast, Manoj accused his father of physically attacking him. The tension led to Manoj and his wife being denied entry to the house. Following this, Manoj, along with his associates, forcibly entered the residence and called the media for assistance. During the altercation, Mohan Babu reportedly attacked a journalist, resulting in a fracture.
