Reporter Attack: Mohan Babu Issues Open Letter

Manchu Mohan Babu has been in the midst of several media debates over the last few days as his family is caught in a turmoil. In this context, he even went on to attack a TV9 journalist who allegedly barged into his residence.

On this topic, Mohan Babu has now issued an open letter of regret where he wrote “I am writing this letter to formally address the unfortunate incident that occurred recently and to express my deep regret over the events that transpired. It pains me deeply that what started as a personal family dispute spiraled into a larger situation, causing distress not only to the esteemed TV9 family but also to the broader journalist fraternity.

Before proceeding, I would like to mention that due to health reasons, I was admitted to the hospital over the last 48 hours and was unable to respond immediately. I appreciate your patience and am sending this letter at the earliest possible opportunity. In the heat of the moment, when my gate was broken and approximately 30-50 individuals, comprising anti-social elements, forcibly barged into my house with an intent to harm those present, I lost my composure.

Amidst this chaos, the media inadvertently became intertwined in the situation. As I tried to manage the situation, Mr. Ranjith, one of your journalists, unfortunately sustained an injury. This was a deeply regrettable outcome, and I deeply regret the pain and inconvenience caused to him, his family, and the TV9 community.

To Mr. Ranjith and the entire TV9 family, I sincerely apologize for my actions, which have caused pain and distress, and I extend my heartfelt wishes for a speedy recovery. I deeply regret that my response in the charged moment has led to anguish for your esteemed organization and for Mr. Ranjith's family.” Mohan Babu wrote in this elongated letter as he expressed regret on the series of events that unfolded of late.
