DB Multiverse

Yes, Babidi tried to get Gohan under his control (and failed). This part (as many other details) was removed from the comic to gain time and panels.
The full original story was written in fanfic, but may not be available in your language.

Babidi was very unhappy that Dabra almost compromised the energy stealing by trying to turn gohan into a statue. They know this energy is scarce, and, to compensate, Dabra had to give a big part of his power. Of course, the whole point for us authors, is to make Dabra less strong, or else he'd beat Gohan to a pulp very easily.
