Pushpa 2 Controversy: Telugu actor Allu Arjun will be facing charges in connection with the tragic stampede that occurred outside a Hyderabad theatre on Wednesday, resulting in the unfortunate death of a woman. The incident took place when the actor arrived unexpectedly for the premiere show of his highly anticipated movie Pushpa 2: The Rule at Sandhya Theatre.
Allu Arjun to face legal charges
According to the police, Allu Arjun's failure to provide prior intimation of his visit led to the chaotic situation, which ultimately resulted in the loss of life. Furthermore, the management of Sandhya Theatre will also be held accountable for not taking adequate security measures to manage the large crowd that had gathered outside the theatre. As of now, neither Allu Arjun nor the theatre management has issued a statement in response to the developments.
According to NDTV, the police said in a statement, "There was no intimation from the side of theatre management or actors team that they will be visiting the theatre."
As per the police account, Allu Arjun arrived at the theatre around 9:30 pm, accompanied by his personal security team. The area quickly became overcrowded as hundreds of fans flocked to catch a glimpse of the actor. In an attempt to manage the crowd, Arjun's security personnel began pushing the fans, inadvertently escalating the situation and contributing to the chaos.
Police further noted, "In this, one Revathi and her son felt suffocated... the police personnel pulled them out of the public... and performed CPR to her, son and immediately shifted to the nearby Durgabai Deshmukh Hospital. The doctor informed that she was dead and son was advised to be shifted to another hospital for better treatment."
"Stringent action as per law will be taken against all the persons responsible for the chaotic situation inside the theatre leading to the death of a person and injury to others," said the police.
