Famous Telugu actor Allu Arjun has been arrested after a tragic incident that happened during the premiere of his latest film, Pushpa 2: The Rule. A stampede broke out outside a theatre in Hyderabad, where many people had gathered to see the actor. This terrible event took the life of a 35-year-old woman and left her 9-year-old son badly hurt. The police arrested Allu Arjun from his house in Jubilee Hills on Friday.

The police had registered a case against Allu Arjun, his security team, and the theatre management after a complaint was made by the husband of the woman who lost her life. The complaint said that there was no proper crowd management, and neither the actor’s team nor the theatre management informed the authorities about the actor’s visit. Because of this, there was no preparation for the large crowd. Earlier, the owner, general manager, and security manager of the theatre were also arrested on December 8.

Reactions to the Arrest

BJP MLA T Raja Singh also defended Allu Arjun, saying, "This is not the actor’s fault. The police should have been more prepared for such a large crowd. Blaming Allu Arjun is wrong and unjust."

What Allu Arjun Said

The actor has expressed deep sadness over the tragedy. He said he was heartbroken about what happened and announced that he would give ₹25 lakh to help the victim’s family. He also promised to meet the family and give them more support if needed.
