Katraj's real-life aggression towards a cab driver

A small argument has escalated all the way to the police station, and a case has been filed. The villain in question is Supreeth Reddy, who played Katraj in 'Chatrapathi'.

According to the police, a man named Srihari works as an Uber driver. On Sunday, he finished a trip and was waiting for his next one near Nagaram crossroads. Supreeth Reddy, who was passing by, got angry that the cab was blocking his way. In a fit of rage, he got out of his car and started arguing with the cab driver.

That small tiff quickly turned into a major dispute. The cab driver, Srihari, stated that Supreeth Reddy hit him and verbally abused him in anger.
