Allu Arjun as granted relief by the Telangana High Court on Friday evening after it granted the Pushpa 2: The Rule actor interim bail in connection with the death of a fan at the film’s premiere. The actor had been arrested from his home by Hyderabad Police earlier in the day.
On December 4, a massive crowd gathered at Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad to see Allu Arjun, resulting in a tragic stampede. Revathi, a 39-year-old woman, died due to asphyxiation, and her 8-year-old son was hospitalised. Following a complaint from her family, police registered a case on December 5 against Allu Arjun, his security team, and the theatre’s management for negligence that contributed to the incident.
Rashmika Mandanna, who plays Srivalli in Pushpa: The Rule, wrote on X that she was disheartened to see how “everything was blamed on a single individual”.
“I can’t believe what I am seeing right now. The incident that happened was an unfortunate and deeply saddening incident. However, it is disheartening to see everything being blamed on a single individual. This situation is both unbelievable and heartbreaking (sic),” she posted on X.
Police said a case was registered against the actor, his security team, and the theatre management at the Chikkadpally police station under sections 105 and 118(1) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) based on the complaint by the deceased’s family.
