Singer Mangli, known for her popular folk songs on YouTube and several playback songs in films, is now facing serious legal trouble.
Recently, an advocate filed a complaint alleging that she threatened him with fatal consequences and even warned that he could be killed in a staged road accident.
Panjagutta police have reportedly named Mangli as A5, the fifth accused, and registered cases under BNS Sections 351(2) and 352.
The complaint notably states that she allegedly threatened to have the advocate killed through a road accident.
Shockingly, the complainant has also mentioned film director Venu Udugula’s name in the case.
Some time ago, reports had also surfaced that Mangli and her brother were accused in a financial fraud case.
A complaint was filed at the Panjagutta Police Station alleging that Mangli, her brother Shiva, and three others cheated people of nearly Rs 10 crore in the name of microfinance.
According to the complaint, around 100 victims were convinced to invest money with promises of high returns, and crores of rupees were allegedly collected from them.
As the promised profits did not materialize, several victims reportedly approached advocate Subbarao for legal help.
The advocate later complained to the police that Mangli and her brother Shiva called him and issued life threatening warnings.
Amid these developments, another version of the story is also circulating.
Mangli is said to have filed a complaint at a police station stating that the advocate behaved inappropriately with her and repeatedly tried to meet her.
She reportedly claims that after she refused, he began filing cases and making allegations to malign her character.
With conflicting claims emerging from both sides, the situation appears quite complex. Only the legal system can determine who is responsible and who is innocent.
For any artist, maintaining a clean public image is extremely important, as even a hint of controversy can affect a career.
What lies ahead for Mangli remains to be seen.
