Vatsala, the complainant, had approached a local court in this regard and following a court directive yesterday, the case was filed against the officer, said Banjara Hills police station's P Murali Krishna.
Vatsala claims that she and Vidyasagar had jointly purchased lands in Prakasam district of Andhra Pradesh. "However, he (Vidyasagar) subsequently started saying that she was a cheater and started encouraging members of SC/ST communities to file false cases against her," the police officer said, quoting the complaint.
