Veteran Tollywood actor Manchu Mohan Babu on Friday apologised for an incident in which a television journalist was injured at his residence three days ago.

The actor, who had grabbed the mike of the Telugu news channel TV9’s reporter and attacked him, apologised to the journalist and the organisation.

Mohan Babu, who has been booked by police for the attempt to murder, posted a letter on the social media platform X to express regret over the unfortunate incident. “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,” wrote Mohan Babu, who is locked in a bitter family dispute with his actor son Manchu Manoj.
