Overview

  • Court records show the Special JFCM Court for Excise Cases dismissed the matter as withdrawn on November 13 after Nagarjuna filed a withdrawal petition under Section 280 of the BNSS.
  • Konda Surekha posted on X that she had no intention to hurt or defame Akkineni Nagarjuna or his family and said she withdraws her earlier statements.
  • Nagarjuna’s complaint, filed in October 2024 under defamation provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, followed remarks that linked his son Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s divorce to BRS leader K. T. Rama Rao.
  • Before the withdrawal, the court recorded statements from Nagarjuna and family members and marked 14 prosecution exhibits, including televised video clips.
  • KTR had also initiated defamation proceedings over the minister’s comments, while public reaction noted her latest post was framed as a withdrawal and questioned the absence of a direct address to Samantha and KTR.
