I have not been arrested: Bandla Ganesh

Film producer Bandla Ganesh has said that the Banjara Hills police have only detained him for questioning and that he hasn’t been arrested.

YCP leader, entrepreneur and film producer Prasad V Potluri had lodged a complaint with the police over Bandla allegedly threatening him with dire consequences for asking him to repay loan amount.

Background of the issue:

Bandla Ganesh is reported to have taken a loan of Rs 30 Cr from PVP to invest in ‘Temper’ many years ago.  Ahead of the film’s release, he repaid a part of the principal amount so that the film is allowed a theatrical release. The due amount, however, hasn’t been paid by Ganesh.

As per PVP’s police complaint, Ganesh and his followers created a lot ruckus at his house a few days back.  Based on the complaint, the police slapped cases under various sections of the IPC against Bandla.
