Allu Arjun Faces Police Inquiry Over Pushpa 2 Stampede Incident
In a recent development, the Telugu film industry is gripped by this news. Allu Arjun, known for his role in “Pushpa 2: The Rule”, is currently at the Chikkadapally police station in Hyderabad. He is there to face questioning over a tragic incident. The star bid an emotional goodbye to his wife Sneha. He playfully interacted with his daughter Arha before heading to the station. This moment was captured in a video shared by news agency ANI on X.
The incident occurred during the premiere of “Pushpa 2” on December 4. A stampede led to the unfortunate death of a woman. It also left her son with severe injuries. Allu Arjun stepped out to greet his fans. This caused an uncontrollable surge of the crowd at Sandhya Theatre.
Allu Arjun was arrested on December 13, 2024. He faced judicial custody for 14 days. He was granted interim bail for four weeks upon a personal bond of Rs 50,000. However, due to paperwork delays, he had to spend a night in jail. The police are now investigating the matter more thoroughly. They plan to potentially challenge his interim bail. They allege that Allu Arjun ignored requests to leave the theatre when the situation was turning critical.
The controversy has extended beyond legal boundaries. Protesters attacked Allu Arjun’s residence this past Sunday. They demanded justice for the deceased. This has led to increased security around his home in Jubilee Hills, highlighting the public’s mixed reactions to the incident.
The legal proceedings are unfolding. The Hyderabad Police are preparing to present video evidence in court. This supports their claims against the actor. This case highlights Allu Arjun’s influence. It also raises broader questions about celebrity influence and crowd management during public events.
