Mohan Babu Legal Trouble: Over two decades after Sooryavansham actress Soundarya died in a plane crash, a social activist has filed a police complaint against veteran actor Mohan Babu, according to multiple media reports. The complaint has been filed in Andhra Pradesh's Khammam district demanding a thorough investigation into the accident that killed the actress and her brother Amarnath on April 17, 2004. The complainant alleges that it was not an accidental death but a murder linked to a property dispute with Mohan Babu, per media reports.

What does the complaint allege?

Multiple media reports state that the complainant accused the 72-year-old actor that he pressurised Soundarya and her brother to sell their six acres of land in a village situated in Shamshabad. However, they refused, leading to a major conflict between the two parties. It further alleged that after Soundarya's death, Mohan Babu took hold of the land.
