Background of the Case
The incident occurred on December 4 at the Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad, where a large crowd gathered to catch a glimpse of Allu Arjun at the film’s premiere. A stampede-like situation ensued, leading to the death of a woman and injuries to her son, who is currently recovering in a hospital.
Based on a complaint filed by the deceased woman’s family, Hyderabad Police registered a case against Allu Arjun, his security team, and the theatre management under Sections 105 and 118(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) at the Chikkadpally police station.
Legal Developments
Following his arrest, Allu Arjun approached the Telangana High Court, seeking to quash the FIR and requesting a stay on all proceedings, including his arrest. The court granted interim bail, with the judge stating, “We will grant interim bail for a certain period, and let them avail appropriate remedies meanwhile,” as reported by Bar and Bench.
Actor’s Response and Financial Support
In the aftermath of the tragedy, Allu Arjun announced financial assistance of ₹25 lakh for the family of the deceased woman. In a twist to the case, the victim's husband stated on Friday afternoon that he intended to withdraw the complaint, asserting that he did not hold the actor responsible for the stampede.
This development comes amid ongoing scrutiny of the circumstances surrounding the event and raises questions about crowd management at public gatherings. Further legal proceedings are expected to address the incident comprehensively.
Allu Arjun remains committed to cooperating with the authorities as the case unfolds.
