Ambika’s response
“ARS Gardens was built with my hard-earned money and named with MGR’s blessings. Seeing its name erased and my rightful shares denied forced us to seek legal recourse. We tried repeatedly to settle this within the family. Following the discovery of the bank deposit, Radha alleged that she is now being unlawfully obstructed by Ambika and Mallikarjuna from verifying her valuables, which include gold and diamond ornaments, and property documents kept in the same room. Urging the police to investigate the conspiracy, the actress has sought strict criminal action against her siblings under the provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
Because legal proceedings are currently underway, I will respect the law and refrain from further public commentary”, she said.
