Telugu movie star Allu Arjun went to the Hyderabad police on December 24, 2024, to answer questions about a big crowd accident that happened at the opening of his film “Pushpa 2: The Rule” on December 4 at Sandhya Theatre. The accident caused the death of a 35-year-old woman and seriously hurt her eight-year-old son.
The rush happened because a lot of people came to see Arjun, who showed up unexpectedly at the theater. The big crowd made the main gate break, which caused confusion and the sad event.
After the incident, the woman’s husband sued Arjun, his security team, and the theater’s management. He claimed they were careless for not telling the police that the actor would be there. This could have helped control the crowd better. As a result, they were charged with a crime that is serious but not considered murder.
Arjun was taken into custody on December 13, but the Telangana High Court soon allowed him to be released on temporary bail. The court said he has the right to be free and asked why he needed to stay in jail. They mentioned, “Just because he is an actor… he shouldn’t be kept like this.”
In the recent questioning, the police tried to figure out the order of events and why Arjun went to the theater. They asked if he knew the police didn’t allow him to go, who decided to go anyway, and when he found out about the bad accident.
The investigation is trying to find out how much responsibility Arjun and others share. Officials are checking if the right procedures were used and if enough safety steps were taken to handle the big group of people.
After the terrible event, Arjun shared his sadness and said he would give ₹50 lakh (about $60,000) to help the family of the person who was hurt. He also promised to pay for the medical care of the injured child.
The recent event has led to a larger conversation about how to manage crowds and ensure safety at big events in India. Specialists say we need strong actions, like good planning, working with police, and checking the venue, to stop these kinds of accidents from happening again.
As the investigation goes on, people in the movie business and the public are waiting to hear what happens next. This situation shows how important it is to follow safety rules and what can happen if we don’t during big events.
Allu Arjun, famous for his energetic acting and a large group of fans, is going through a tough time with ongoing legal issues. The result of this case could greatly affect how events are managed in the entertainment business.
The Hyderabad police plan to do a complete investigation to find out who is responsible and take steps to stop these kinds of incidents from happening again. This will help keep people safe at future events.
The deadly crowd surge at Sandhya Theatre highlights the crucial need for crowd control and safety precautions, especially at events with famous people who attract large audiences.
