The Filmnagar police have registered a case against actor Venkatesh Daggubati, his nephew Rana Daggubati, producer D. Suresh Babu, and his son D. Abiram, following allegations of house trespass and criminal conspiracy in connection with the Deccan Kitchen demolition case. The complaint was filed by Nanda Kumar, who was previously accused in the BRS MLA poaching case. He claimed significant financial losses due to the alleged actions of the accused regarding properties leased to him for his hotel business on Road No. 1, Filmnagar, Jubilee Hills.
According to Nanda Kumar, he had invested ₹20 crore in renovating and starting the restaurant, Deccan Kitchen, under lease agreements dating back to 2014. However, tensions escalated in 2018, leading to legal disputes. He alleged that in November 2022, despite an interim injunction from the Hyderabad City Civil Court, the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) attempted to demolish parts of the property. The demolition was reportedly halted, but Kumar claimed the accused later sent individuals to vandalize the property and steal valuables. He further alleged that the Daggubati family completely demolished the structure in January 2024.
Following these allegations, Kumar approached the Nampally Court, which directed the police to investigate. The court issued orders for a case to be registered, leading to ongoing proceedings in the matter.
