Hyderabad: The couple Jeevitha and Rajashekar were sentenced to a year in prison by the Nampally Court in a defamation case and were additionally fined Rs 5,000.

A defamation lawsuit was subsequently filed against the trust and service programmes operating under Chiranjeevi's name. As part of the evidence, media articles featuring the accusations made by Jeevitha and Rajashekar were presented in Court.
