Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu's wife and former actress Namrata Shirodkar filed a case against her interior designer cum carpenter in Jubilee Hills police station. Namrata alleged that her interior designer cum carpentar, Farhad Bin Ali from Classic Hardware Shop in the city cheated her by doing a shoddy job at home and hasn't even repaid her money which was due to her.

According to sources from Police station,

Namrata alleged in her case that Farhan who was hired to do glass work in her newly built bungalow in Filmnagar was paid Rs 8.5 lakh as advance. But since he was delaying the work and Namrata was unhappy with him, she fired him. She asked him to deduct Rs 3.65 lakh towards his charges until then and repay the rest of the amount from the advance she had given him.

Ali gave her a cheque for Rs 4.63 lakh but it bounced. After Namrata warned him, he gave her another cheque for Rs 2.25 lakh which also bounced. This irritated Namrata further. As a last chance, he gave her another cheque from Axis bank and that too bounced. Angry with his attitude, Namrata filed a cheque bouncing case against him in the court and Jubilee hills cops registered a case against him.

"Namrata's PA Mahesh Achari came and lodged the complaint on her behalf four days ago. We registered a case under sections 420 of IPC. It is a civil case and there is very little we police can do about it. We might close the case soon" Inspector of Jubilee Hills police station Mr Narsing Rao told this correspondent.
