Perhaps Arjun’s advocate ashok Reddy told “He cooperated with the police fully. If required, they said they’ll call him again. They (the police) wanted to question him and he cooperated. They treated him very well". The actor was asked if he was aware of the woman’s death and if the authorities at sandhya Theatre conveyed to him that permission for his entry to the theatre was not granted. He was also asked if his PR team explained the situation after his arrival at the sandhya theatre.
