Court was misled in cheque bounce case: Mohan Babu

Senior actor and YSRCP politician Mohan Babu was today found guilty in a cheque bounce case by a Hyderabad court, which gave the final verdict.  He has been sentenced to a jail term of 1 year.  Besides, a fine of more than Rs 41 lakh has been imposed.  

Mohan Babu has reacted to the development.  “It was in 2009 that I worked with director YVS Chowdhary on the film ‘Saleem’. I honoured all my payments for that movie.  I signed him up for another movie and paid the advance through a cheque.  But since ‘Saleem’ failed, I shelved the project.  I told him not to present the cheque, but he went on to present it at the bank.  I have been dragged into this case.  The court has been misled.  I am going to appeal in a special court,” Mohan Babu said.

The actor has got a bail for 30 days.  “I appeal to everyone not to take what TV channels are saying at face value,” he added.
