Megastar Chiranjeevi's daughter Srija gave a police complaint against her mother-in-law and husband Sirish Bharadwaj. Ms K. Srija, lodged a complaint with the Central Crime Station women police against her husband, Mr Sirish Bhardwaj alleging that she was illtreated physically and abused by her husband and mother-in-law.

It's to be recalled that in 2007 Srija and Sirish eloped and got married without the consent of Mr Chiranjeevi's family. Srija was 19 then, and Sirish, 22. The commissioner of police, Mr A.K. Khan confirmed having received the complaint lodged by her and registering a case under the Dowry Harassment and Dowry Prohibition Act. The police said that Ms Sirija alleged that her husband and mother-in-law had been harassing her and had physically assaulted her.

Srija had recently re-registered all properties that were in her name back to her parents' name. This re-registering of properties in the name of her parents irked Sirish Bhardwaj and he started harassing her more. In her complaint Srija stated "He started harassing me after an year of marriage. As I had married against my parents' wishes and we are blessed with a daughter, I kept quiet. As Sirish is always expecting money from me I felt insecure and transferred all my properties to my parents. A week back he asked me to get 50 lakh rupees and after that I came to parents' home and didn't go back." Almost all the channels have flashed this news yesterday till 7.30 PM, but from 9 PM onwards, no channel has been airing this news so far. Sources say that megastar might have managed the media and got the news withdrawn.
