Case Filed Against Producer Bandla Ganesh For 'Unlawful Possession' Of Rented House In Hyderabad

Film Nagar, Hyderabad’s police have recently registered a criminal case against Telugu actor, film producer and congress politician Bandla Ganesh, for illegally occupying a house. As per the reports, Bandla has taken possession of a house on a rental basis from a businesswoman Dr Aalima Nowhera Shaik. Shaik is the CEO of an organisation named Heera Group. Reportedly, the total amount of the house was Rs 75 crores and it was decided that Bandla was to pay Rs 1 Lah every month. The Son of India actor, however, refused to pay the rent to Sheikh and when asked to vacate the house, tried to threaten her. Also, as per the reports he detained the Heera Group CEO which led her to file charges against him with the police. The complaint stated that Bandla planned to attack the CEO in her house with the help of his goons. The charges also mentioned that Bandla was using her house for anti-social activities.

The charges have been filed against Bandla under sections 341,506 of the IPC. Section 341 mentions that whoever wrongfully restrains any person shall be punished with simple imprisonment. Section 506 means punishment for criminal intimidation. Whoever commits, the offence of criminal intimidation shall be punished with imprisonment.

Bandla’s name is not new to the controversies and has been embroiled in disputes for a lot of reasons. He was sentenced to one year in prison and fined Rs 95 lakh in a check bounce case, as per a report by India Today.

The district court in Ongole, Andhra Pradesh ordered the 51-year-old actor to pay all legal fees and sentenced him to jail concerning the cheque bounce case. This case commenced in 2019 after Bandla borrowed Rs 95 lakh from an individual called Jetti Venkateshwarlu. He then gave Jetti a post-dated cheque for the same amount. Jetti hails from Muppalla village in Guntur. However, the cheque bounced due to insufficient money following which the victim went on to take legal action against the actor-producer.

The Ongole court, following a long-drawn court battle, pronounced its verdict on Wednesday. It ruled against Bandla, however, giving him a month to file an appeal, adding that he would not be arrested immediately.
