Actor Mohan Babu accused of involvement in late actress Soundarya's tragic death; Check here

A new complaint has been filed against veteran Telugu actor Mohan Babu, reigniting controversy over the tragic 2004 plane crash that claimed the life of Kannada actor Soundarya. The complaint, submitted by a social activist from Satyanarayanapuram village in Khammam district, accuses Mohan Babu of being involved in the incident.

Soundarya, a prominent South Indian actor, lost her life in a plane crash on April 17, 2004, along with her brother and then Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy. The activist has urged the police to conduct a detailed investigation to uncover any potential foul play. He also claimed that Mohan Babu had previously threatened him, prompting him to seek police protection.

In his complaint, the activist alleged that Mohan Babu had pressured Soundarya to sell a six-acre guest house located in Jallepalli, Shamshabad. According to the activist, Soundarya’s brother Amarnath had refused to comply with this request. The activist further claimed that Mohan Babu had since been using the guest house and demanded that the government seize the property and investigate the actor’s involvement in the matter.

As of now, Mohan Babu has not issued any statement in response to these allegations.
