Bobby Chemmannur said that he was invited to Bigg Boss a few years ago. He said that most people on social media asked him not to go, and so he didn’t go. In an interview, he said that he hasn’t seen Bigg Boss so far.
Bobby Chemmannur also disclosed about giving money to save Abdul Rahim jailed abroad. 'Gave Rs 1 crore to save him. I was on the road to beg for the remaining Rs 33 crore. Didn’t do that for publicity. If it was for publicity, it was enough for me to have given Rs 10 lakh. Didn’t have to give one crore. Didn’t have to beg on the road for the remaining amount, just sit in the AC room and say about giving money.
The reason for me to have seriously involved in this matter is that he had a partnership business in Kuwait twenty years ago. That partner cheated me. I used to go there only once in six months. The partner had no other work, he was there throughout. He was in good terms with the staffs.
I caught him tampering with accounts and a ruckus was witnessed later. He has been there for years. He lodged a false complaint against me using the influence of the police. I was in the police station for a day for the crime I had not committed. Even though I was in the station for a day only, I was in terrible pain. If I have killed someone and jailed for 25 years, I would not have felt anything as I have committed the crime.
Even if a thousand criminals escape, not one innocent person should be punished. That pain is terrible. I thought then. If Abdul Rahim is innocent, he is in the jail for eighteen years, not a day. He is seeing the hanging daily. Very sincerely decided to save him. In the end, was short of 9 crore and there was only two days left. If so, I decided to pay that 9 crore. I didn’t want to backout, but got that amount in two days,’ said Bobby Chemmanur.
He also revealed about helping a Malayali from a Saudi prison earlier. 'I got a phone call from Saudi jail a few years ago. A person pushed or hit his girlfriend and the girl died by hitting her head.
His girlfriend was a Filipino and he a Malayali. The news came in the newspaper. He was sentenced to be hanged. Two crore was asked then. I gave Rs one lakh. This was twenty or fifteen years ago. The newspaper had covered it well.
He is also from a different religion. It became a prestige issue after I paid Rs 1 lakh. Many funded then. It happened. His father came to me and said that he is very happy and that will come straight here from the airport when he arrives. Politicians intervened and tried to reduce the blood money.
He was saved. He reached the state home. His father came to me and said that he should not have been saved. He is a cheat and when tried to bring him here, he refused to come and went with his friends to have liquor.
His father later came to me sand said that he refused to come when called him again. He is hanging out with his friends. He is such an ungrateful person and he may have killed that girl deliberately. I told him that I am not expecting anything and am happy with what I have done,’ said Boche.
