Allu Arjun was released on bail early Saturday morning after spending a night in jail following his arrest related to a tragic stampede during the screening of his film “Pushpa 2” in Hyderabad. The incident, which occurred on December 4, resulted in the death of a 39-year-old woman and left her nine-year-old son critically injured.
Arjun was arrested from his home on Friday morning and initially placed in 14-day judicial custody. However, later that day, the Telangana High Court granted him interim bail for four weeks, citing his right to liberty. The delay in his release was attributed to the late arrival of the bail order at the jail.
The stampede reportedly happened when Arjun made an unscheduled visit to the theatre, causing chaos as fans rushed to see him. The police have opened an investigation into the incident, with charges filed against Arjun, his security team, and the theatre management for negligence in crowd control.
Following his release, Arjun expressed gratitude to his fans for their support and extended condolences to the victim’s family, emphasizing that he would cooperate fully with the ongoing investigation.
