Refuting
recent
allegations
that
he
had
roughed
up
two
civilians
in
a
roadside
tiff,
Telugu
actor
Ram
Charan
said
on
Thursday
that
the
images
were
morphed
to
show
him
at
the
brawl
scene.
"These
images
were
used
by
media
only
on
the
second
day
after
the
incident.
Why
did
they
not
use
the
image
that
reportedly
has
me
in
the
frame
on
the
first
day?
This
clearly
indicates
that
somebody
morphed
the
image
in
such
a
way
that
I
could
be
included
in
the
scene," Ram
Charan
told
reporters
here
at
a
press
meet.
"If
someone
really
wants
to
prove
that
I
manhandled
the
two,
then
let
him
or
her
submit
the
CCTV
footage
and
I
will
take
responsibility
for
the
blame.
We
can't
make
accuse
someone
of
wrongdoing
based
on
some
image
that
appears
to
be
morphed,"
he
added.
Ram
said
that
his
entourage
did
not
manhandle
Kalyan
and
Phanish,
the
reported
victims.
"My
security
personnel
only
tried
to
drive
away
those
men
who
were
unnecessarily
creating
ruckus
in
the
middle
of
the
road.
In
the
process,
they
resisted
and,
therefore,
my
guards
had
to
literally
push
them,"
Charan
said.
"If
my
guards
had
really
hit
them
then
why
didn't
they
bleed?
All
my
guards
are
six
feet
and
above,
and
very
strong.
One
can
imagine
the
damage
if
they
had
handled
these
men
physically,"
he
said.
He
said
the
two
men
provoked
him.
"What
am
I
supposed
to
do
when
two
guys
on
a
Sunday
afternoon
knock
on
the
window
of
my
car
and
start
a
verbal
altercation?
Anybody
would've
reacted
the
way
I
handled
the
situation,"
said
Ram.
"I
could
have
pressed
charges
on
the
two,
but
i
didn't
because
i
knew
it
would
affect
their
careers.
I
was
empathetic
towards
them
and
yet
I'm
being
blamed,"
he
added.
