On December 4, a premiere show of ‘Pushpa 2‘ was held at Sandhya theatre in Hyderabad. As Allu Arjun made a surprise visit to the theatre, it caused a stampede which led to the death of a woman. Her son who is 8-years old, is battling for his life in the hospital. Allu was arrested in this matter on last Friday. The actor was then released on Saturday morning on an interim bail. Allu was arrested because the police says his visit was not planned to the theatre and it led to the stampede as huge crowds gathered to see him.
After his bail, Allu was now called at the police station for questioning in the matter. According to a latest report, Allu had gotten emotional. “Allu Arjun was questioned for about three hours and was shown the videos of a stampede that happened at the Pushpa 2 special show in Sandhya theater. While watching the video, Allu Arjun reportedly turned emotional seeing the visuals of Sritej and Revathi being injured,” a source was quoted by Gulte.
Meanwhile, NDTV has quoted a source saying, that Allu was asked direct questions about the claim of the police. A source was quoted by their report saying, “He was allegedly asked “Did you know police permission had been denied for you to come to the premiere?”, “Who took the call to proceed with the plan (for the actor to attend the special screening) despite denial of police permission?”, “Did any police officer inform you about the stampede outside?”, and “When did you know about the death of the woman?”.
Allu recently released a statement for the fans to keep their calm and not misbehave on social media with anyone or say things which are rude. “I appeal to all my fans to express their feelings responsibly, as always and not resort to any kind of abusive language or behavior both online and offline.” He also warned people ‘misrepresenting’ his fans with ‘fake IDs’ that stern action will be taken against them if they indulge in such behaviour, writing. Misrepresenting as my fans with fake IDs and fake profiles, if someone indulges in abusive posts, strong action will be taken against them. I request the fans not to engage with such posts,” read his statement.
