Pushpa 2 screening stampede case: Telangana HC grants interim bail to Actor Allu Arjun
Hyderabad: The Telangana High Court has granted interim bail to actor Allu Arjun after a local court on Friday sent him to 14-day jail in connection with the Sandhya Theatre stampede case during the Pushpa 2 premiere.
The incident which occurred on December 4, claimed the life of 35-year-old Revathi and left her son critically injured. The stampede was reportedly triggered by a large crowd attempting to enter the venue following Allu Arjun’s appearance at the theatre.
The police had earlier arrested three individuals, including a co-partner of the theatre, in connection with the case.
A case was registered 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, based on a complaint by the deceased woman's family.
Earlier on Friday, a police team led by an assistant commissioner had arrived at Arjun’s residence to take him into custody in the presence of his family. He was escorted to the police station following his arrest.
The actor subsequently moved the Telangana High Court seeking urgent relief, including quashing of the FIR and a stay on all further proceedings.

India has agreed already to drop its tariffs to nothing: President Trump
New York/Washington, May 7 (PTI): US President Donald Trump on Tuesday said India has “agreed” to drop its high tariffs “to nothing”.
“I mean, India as an example, has one of the highest tariffs in the world. We’re not going to put up with that, and they’ve agreed already to drop it. They’ll drop it to nothing. They’ve already agreed. They would have never done that for anybody else but me,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
Trump and visiting Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke to reporters as they met in the Oval Office to discuss the US-Canada trade.
“So we’re going to put down some numbers and we’re going to say our country is open for business and they’re going to come in and they’re going to pay for the privilege of being able to shop in the United States of America. It’s very simple. It’s very simple,” he added.
In the past, Trump has called India “tariff king” and a “big abuser”.
Last month, Trump had said that negotiations with India over a bilateral trade deal are “coming along great” and he thinks “we’ll have a deal with India”.
