LoBo, alias Mohammed Khayyum, was involved in a road rage incident way back in 2018, which killed two men on the spot. The incident happened when LoBo was returning from Warangal, where he had gone to shoot a music video. While driving rashly, LoBo hit an auto and killed two and injured three others. The same case was on for the last few years, and now he has been convicted in it.

LoBo is a very popular social media influencer and owns a garment store in Hyderabad. He was one of the most famous celebs on the show and earned a lot of love, thanks to his comedy in Bigg Boss Telugu. The show gave him a lot of film offers, as LoBo even acted with the likes of Chiranjeevi in the film Bholaa Shankar.

Allu Arjun once openly stated that he loves LoBo's weird sense of humour. But all this has gone in vain as LoBo is now behind bars. The industry is shocked by this new development, but the show is getting free publicity.

Ever since the news came out about LoBo, there has been a hue and cry about those who grace the show. Some say that celebs with court cases and other issues should not be allowed on the show.
