Parents of Nalini, 24, in their complaint, said their daughter was “kidnapped” and was forced into marriage with Chetan. T Subba Rao and T Naga Shiromani alleged that Chiranjeevi attended the marriage and called Nalini his ‘adopted daughter.’ The complaint was lodged a day after the girl’s parents met Home Minister K Jana Reddy and N Chandrababu Naidu and sought their help in tracing out their daughter.

The home minister advised them to lodge a complaint with the police. Chiranjeevi’s party has clarified that he attended the wedding as an invitee and that nothing more need be interpreted into his presence.
