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.
