The Supreme Court on Thursday provided interim relief for Telugu actor Mohan Babu, directing Telangana police not to take aggressive actions against him in an alleged assault case involving a journalist.

A judicial bench, including Justices Sudhanshu Dhulia and Prashant Kumar Mishra, reached the decision following actor Babu's appeal against a Telangana High Court order that denied his anticipatory bail request.

Senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi, representing the actor, stated the incident was a misunderstanding that escalated during a dispute with his son, emphasizing Babu's readiness to apologize and compensate the injured journalist.
