Tollywood’s stylish hero allu arjun, who was arrested in connection with the tragic death of a woman during a stampede at sandhya Theatre in hyderabad during the pushpa 2 premiere on december 4, has been released on bail. The actor had sought interim bail, which was granted by the telangana High Court; however, delays in paperwork resulted in him spending a night in jail. He has now been released, bringing temporary relief for him as investigations into the incident continue. Meanwhile, hyderabad police on friday issued a clarification regarding claims that they misbehaved with the actor.
Perhaps Deputy Commissioner of police, Central Zone, hyderabad City, wrote, “Clarification regarding the letter being circulating in media addressed by sandhya Cine Enterprise 70 MM to ACP Chikkadpally requesting bandobust on 04/05-12-2024 in connection with release of Pushpa-2. We receive a lot of requests for bandobast citing visits by some political personalities, film celebrities, religious programs etc. However it is beyond our resources to provide bandobast for every event".
Moreover the police said that the actor’s waving to fans caused the chaos at sandhya Theatre, leading to the incident and the death of a woman. They explained, “He came to the theatre, came out from the sunroof of his vehicle and started waving to the public gathered there. This gesture attracted a lot of the public towards the theatre’s main gate. At the same time, his private security started pushing people to make way for his vehicle. His team was intimated to take him back citing a large public gathering but they didn’t act on it and allu arjun was there inside the theatre for more than two hours. Therefore, it is clear that adequate police bandobast was in place, it was his actions which led to this unfortunate incident, in which a lady died and her son is still unconscious on a ventilator even after 9 days of the incident."
