The ongoing rift within the Manchu family has escalated as Manoj Manchu recently accused his elder brother, Vishnu Manchu, of putting him and his family in danger.
In a press statement, as reported by The New Indian Express, Manoj made serious allegations, claiming that Vishnu and his associates forcibly entered his home on Saturday while he was away on a film shoot.
This latest development has added further tension to their already strained relationship, with Manoj expressing deep concerns for the safety of his loved ones. The situation has raised eyebrows and attracted significant media attention.
Manoj alleged that the group entered his property under the guise of delivering a birthday cake for their mother. Once inside, he claims they intentionally sabotaged the main generators by pouring a mixture of diesel and sugar into them, resulting in considerable damage. This act, according to Manoj, was a deliberate attempt to harm his property and disrupt his life, further intensifying the ongoing family feud.
The actor further elaborated on the consequences of the act, stating that the tampering caused a major power failure late at night, leading to dangerous electrical fluctuations. Manoj mentioned, “This put my entire household at risk, including my mother, my nine-month-old daughter, and other relatives who had come from the village."
He also alleged that vehicles were parked near the tampered generators, alongside active gas connections in the house, creating a serious risk of a massive fire or explosion saying “It could have triggered a massive fire or explosion."
Manoj claimed that the situation worsened when Vishnu’s associates forcibly removed his last loyal staff member from the house, leaving his family feeling "vulnerable and helpless."
This act, according to Manoj, intensified the sense of fear and insecurity within his household, further deepening the rift between the brothers and exacerbating the already tense situation.
“This incident is not an isolated one but part of a growing pattern of threats and hostility," Manoj said. He added that despite prior warnings from law enforcement, these actions have continued with “complete disregard" for the safety of his family.
Urging authorities to take immediate action, Manoj called for accountability to prevent such incidents from recurring and to ensure the safety of his family. He emphasized the need for legal measures to address the situation and protect his loved ones from any further harm.
For those unaware, the family dispute between veteran actor Mohan Babu and his son, Manchu Manoj, became public after Mohan Babu filed a police complaint on December 9. He accused Manoj and his wife of forcibly occupying his Hyderabad home. In response, Manoj filed a counter-complaint, alleging that ten unidentified individuals entered his house and attacked him. The incident is currently under investigation by the police.
