Hyderabad: A local court on Thursday summoned Telangana Minister Konda Surekha to appear before it on December 12 over a criminal defamation complaint filed by actor Nagarjuna.
The actor accused the minister of making defamatory statements against him and his family.
The controversy began in October when Minister of Forest Surekha’s comments drew strong reactions from political circles and the Telugu cinema industry, leading her to retract her statements.
This legal move follows Nagarjuna’s filing of a complaint at the court over remarks that allegedly targeted his son, Naga Chaitanya. The court previously recorded statements related to the case from Nagarjuna and other involved parties.
