South Indian superstar Allu Arjun has been arrested in connection with a tragic incident during the premiere of his latest film, Pushpa 2: The Rule. The actor faces charges of criminal negligence and causing grievous bodily harm, according to police reports.
The incident occurred during a screening of Pushpa 2 in Hyderabad on December 4. A large crowd gathered outside the theater to catch a glimpse of Allu Arjun, who was attending the event alongside music director Devi Sri Prasad. The overwhelming number of fans caused chaos, leading to the collapse of the theater’s main gate and a stampede.
The tragic event claimed the life of a 35-year-old woman and left her 9-year-old son seriously injured. The woman’s death and her son’s condition have sparked outrage, with critics pointing to inadequate crowd management at the event.
Allu Arjun was reportedly taken to the Chikkadpally police station for questioning. Authorities are investigating the level of responsibility the actor and the event organizers bear for the lack of safety measures.
The incident has raised serious concerns about event planning and crowd control at large public gatherings, especially those involving celebrities. Fans and the public await further developments as the case unfolds.
