Reason Behind Allu Arjun’s Arrest
Earlier this month, Allu Arjun made an unexpected visit to the Sandhya Theatre during a screening of Pushpa 2. The excitement among fans led to a stampede, tragically claiming the life of a woman from Dilsukhnagar. Her son remains in critical condition at a hospital.
Authorities revealed that they were informed of Allu Arjun’s arrival only two hours before, leaving no time to organize adequate security. The police cited this lack of preparation as the reason behind the chaos.
There was no information about their arrival until two hours before, and hence no bandobast was organised. People in large numbers gathered to catch a glimpse of the actor while he was leaving the theatre, leading to the stampede.”
Legal Charges Filed Against Allu Arjun
The actor faces charges under Sections 118(1) and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. Police emphasized the unplanned nature of his visit, which attracted large crowds eager to catch a glimpse of the superstar.
The tragic incident has left the nation divided, with many questioning the circumstances surrounding the arrest and the actor’s role in the unfortunate events.
