Gachibowli police have registered a case against two men following a dispute over access to a portion of the Mantri Cosmos complex at Nanakramguda. Owners’ association alleged that they entered the premises without authorisation, damaged property and confronted security personnel.

The case was filed against Gaddam Ravi and Muralidhar Reddy. Police said the two were found trespassing and confronting security guards after allegedly damaging property. During questioning, they reportedly claimed to be working for Congress leader Kancharla Chandrasekhar Reddy, father-in-law of actor Allu Arjun. Police are verifying the claim. Mr Chandrasekhar Reddy has not been named as an accused.

According to the complaint filed by the Mantri Cosmos Owners Association, a group reached the south-western side of the complex in the morning and entered the premises. They allegedly damaged structures in the area and installed tin sheets.

The complaint also alleged that security guards who tried to stop them were pushed away and threatened. The association handed over CCTV footage and photographs of the incident to the police.

Police are investigating the allegations and the circumstances surrounding the dispute.
