Fresh Allegations Emerge Linking Actor Mohan Babu to Soundarya’s 2004 Death

Over two decades after the tragic demise of renowned actress Soundarya in a plane crash, new allegations have surfaced implicating veteran Telugu actor Mohan Babu in her death. A complaint filed by a social activist from Khammam district, Andhra Pradesh, accuses Babu of involvement in the 2004 incident, citing a property dispute as the alleged motive.

Background of the Incident

On April 17, 2004, Soundarya, celebrated for her roles in South Indian cinema and notably in the Hindi film “Sooryavansham” alongside Amitabh Bachchan, was en route to Karimnagar for a political campaign. Accompanied by her brother Amarnath and two others, their private aircraft tragically crashed shortly after takeoff from Bengaluru, resulting in the death of all onboard. At the time, the incident was attributed to pilot error, and no foul play was suspected.

Details of the New Allegations

The recent complaint alleges that prior to the crash, Mohan Babu had pressured Soundarya and her brother to sell a six-acre property, including a guest house in Jallepalli, Shamshabad. The siblings’ refusal purportedly led to escalating tensions between the parties. The complainant further claims that following Soundarya’s death, Babu unlawfully took possession of the disputed property. Additionally, the activist has sought police protection, alleging threats from Babu

Current Status and Reactions

As of now, no First Information Report (FIR) has been registered regarding these allegations. Mohan Babu has not publicly responded to the claims. The complaint has reignited discussions about the circumstances surrounding Soundarya’s untimely death, prompting calls from various quarters for a thorough investigation to ascertain the veracity of the allegations and ensure justice is served.

The resurfacing of this case underscores the enduring impact of unresolved questions related to high-profile tragedies and the importance of diligent investigative processes in delivering closure.
