Tollywood actor Rajashekar and his wife Jeevitha have faced a major setback as the 17th Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate’s (ACMM) court in Nampally has sentenced them to one year in jail and imposed a fine of Rs 5,000 in a defamation case.
The case, originally filed in 2011 by renowned film producer Allu Aravind, accused the couple of making controversial statements about Chiranjeevi and alleging the improper sale of blood collected through Chiranjeevi’s Blood Bank from donors.
Following an extensive trial, the Nampally court has finally delivered its verdict. The couple has paid the fine and has been granted bail, enabling them to appeal the decision.
