Who is Mohammed Qayyum (Lobo)? Bigg Boss Telugu 5 Contestant Sentenced in Road Accident Case

29 August, 2025 11:44

Television anchor and Bigg Boss Telugu Season 5 contestant Mohammed Qayyum, better known as Lobo, has been sentenced to one year in prison for his involvement in a 2018 road accident case. Along with the jail term, the Janagama Court also ordered him to pay a fine of Rs 12,500. The verdict, delivered in August 2025, comes more than six years after the incident.

The 2018 Nalgonda Road Accident

The case goes back to May 2018, when Lobo was driving towards Hyderabad. His car collided with an auto near Nalgonda, leading to a tragic accident. Two people traveling in the auto, Medde Kumar and Pembarthi Manemma, lost their lives in the crash.

The impact was severe, overturning Lobo’s vehicle and leaving him and others injured. Emergency services rushed to the scene, but the deaths of the two passengers made it a serious legal matter.

Legal Battle and Court Verdict

After the accident, police registered a case against Lobo and began an investigation. The case dragged on in court for several years. Finally, on Thursday, the Janagama Court gave its verdict, sentencing him to one year in jail along with a monetary penalty.

For the families of the victims, the judgment marks the end of a long wait for justice.
