‘Don’t believe rumours’

Mangli took to Instagram on Monday to clarify what happened. She wrote on Instagram Stories, “Dear all, I am safe and sound. It was an unforeseen minor accident that took place a couple of days ago. Kindly don’t go by the rumours being spread. Thanks to your love and concern! Mangli.” In the late hours of March 15, Mangli and her team were returning from an event when the accident took place near Tondupally in Shamshabad limits.

A member of Mangli’s team explains to Hindustan Times, “Everybody travelling that day is fine. We were returning from an event and the incident took place on the Bengaluru-Hyderabad highway. It was not a major accident; none of us were in the car, including madam (Mangli). It was parked on the side of the road when a lorry brushed against the car, damaging the rear light. We are all safe and there’s nothing to worry about.”

India Today reports that a police case has been registered under Section 279 of the Indian Penal Code. The singer and two members of her team were returning to Hyderabad after attending a spiritual event near Hyderabad.
