The tragic incident at Hyderabad's sandhya Theatre during the premiere of "Pushpa 2" has led to significant public outcry and governmental action. A stampede resulted in the death of a woman named revathi and left her son, Sritej, critically injured. Shocking!
In response, Telangana's Cinematography minister, Komatireddy venkat Reddy, criticized actor allu arjun for his role in the incident, labeling his actions as irresponsible. The minister highlighted that despite police advisories against attending the event due to safety concerns, allu arjun proceeded, leading to overcrowding and the subsequent tragedy.
minister reddy has demanded that allu arjun and the film's producers compensate Revathi's family with ₹20 crore, questioning why, given the film's substantial earnings, such support hasn't been extended.
allu arjun has announced a contribution of ₹25 lakh to Revathi's family and has pledged to cover medical expenses.
Additionally, the telangana government has initiated medical compensation, and minister reddy himself has contributed ₹25 lakh to the family.
In the aftermath, the telangana government has banned benefit shows to prevent similar incidents, emphasizing public safety.
The incident has sparked widespread debate about the responsibilities of public figures and event organizers in ensuring public safety during large gatherings.
