A case has been booked against Prajarajyam chief Chiranjeevi, Dalit writer Kathi Padma Rao, his son Chetan and others at the Sanjeeva Reddy Nagar police station on Friday night for their role in the controversial inter-caste wedding of the writer's son.

Actor-turned-politician Chiranjeevi was booked for "conniving with others in kidnap, wrongful confinement and criminal intimidation".

Chiranjeevi attended the marriage of Padma Rao's son Chetan with Nalini, a 24-year-old engineer belonging to an upper caste, at Film Nagar club on August 30.

The wedding triggered a controversy after the bride's parents Tammina Subba Rao and T Mani alleged that their daughter was kidnapped and forced into the wedlock at the behest of the actor and his fans.

They also filed a petition with the State Human Rights Commission on Saturday complaining that though they had lodged a complaint police did not act on it.

Police were in a state of dilemma till Saturday evening whether to book a case against Chiranjeevi or not. Late in the evening, they booked a case against the Prajarajyam chief and his fans for conniving with other accused in the case.

According to Nalini's parents, their daughter was allegedly abducted by Padma Rao and his son Chetan from a working women's hostel in Ameerpet and forced into marriage at the Film Nagar club.
