In the Kakinada rural constituency, which has a significant extent of assigned (Bhoodan) lands, he is accused of creating forged documents to कब्जा disputed properties, especially those owned by individuals residing abroad. A previous land dispute case had also been registered against him at the Sarpavaram police station nearly a decade ago.

The flat used for intimidation is reportedly linked to a personal aide of the former minister. Along with Chinnababu, Kadiyala Satish, Maganti Rambabu, and an advocate are said to be involved in the case.
