Kannada film actor Aditya is in the dock for allegedly threatening his landlord when the latter asked him to pay his rental dues. Though the Sadashivanagar police have taken up a complaint filed by the landlord, Prasanna, they are treating it as a non-cognisable case.
The actor, son of film director Rajendra Singh Babu, has been renting the first floor of a house in RMV Extension for the past four years, said the police. “The family agreed to pay ₹40,000 as rent which would be hiked by 5% every year,” said the police.
According to Mr. Prasanna, Aditya stopped paying rent for the past few months and threatened him when he asked for it. However, the police believe there is more to this story.
“Our inquiries have revealed that the landlord wanted the family to vacate the house immediately, but they sought one month’s time,” said the police.
Aditya and his family also approached the court and got a stay order.
