New Delhi [India], December 13 (ANI): Reacting to the arrest of Telugu cinema star Allu Arjun, Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy on Friday said that he can only speak after knowing more the matter.
“Let me find out, then I will tell you,” said the Chief Minister.
As per the sources, CM Revanth Reddy has assured that he won’t interfere and the law will take its course in Allu Arjun’s case. Sources say, the Chief Minister is of the view that everyone is equal before the law.
Notably, Telugu cinema star Allu Arjun was arrested on Friday in connection with the tragic stampede that occurred at Sandhya Theatre on December 4 during the premiere of his film, ‘Pushpa 2: The Rule’. He has now been taken to the hospital for a medical test.
Allu Arjun spoke to his counsel to request an urgent hearing from the High Court. Earlier, Allu Arjun had approached the HC seeking to quash the FIR registered against him.
The incident, which led to the death of one woman and injuries to her son, prompted a police investigation, culminating in the arrest of three individuals, and now the actor himself.
The actor was brought to the Chikkadpally police station for questioning in connection with the incident. His father, Allu Aravind, brother Allu Sirish, and father-in-law Kancharla Chandrasekhar Reddy were also present at the station during the proceedings.
The stampede occurred when fans rushed into Sandhya Theatre following Allu Arjun’s arrival ahead of the film’s premiere.
The deceased woman, identified as 35-year-old Revathi, was fatally injured during the chaos. Her son, Shreethej, was also hospitalized with injuries. Police attempted to control the crowd with a mild lathi charge, but the incident resulted in public shock and grief.
In addition to the arrest of Allu Arjun, the police apprehended three individuals connected to the incident. M. Sandeep, one of the owners of Sandhya Theatre, senior manager M. Nagaraju, and Gandhakam Vijay Chander, the in-charge of the theatre’s lower balcony, were arrested for their alleged roles in the stampede.
The police filed a case at Chikkadpally police station, citing dangerous crowd management practices that contributed to the tragic event. (ANI)
