19 Jun
Summary
- Allu Arjun ordered to appear in court regarding stampede.
- A woman died and her son was injured during a Pushpa 2 event.
- Court issued summons to theatre management and actor as Accused No. 11.
In a significant legal development, Telugu superstar Allu Arjun has been ordered by the Nampally Court in Hyderabad to appear personally. This follows a tragic incident during a fundraising show for 'Pushpa 2: The Rule' in December 2024, which led to a fatal stampede. The court's directive comes after the issuance of summons to multiple accused individuals in connection with the event's security lapses.
Allu Arjun is listed as Accused No. 11 in a comprehensive police charge sheet that names 23 individuals. Charges from Accused 1 to 10 are directed at the management of Sandhya Theatre, where the stampede occurred. The incident on December 4, 2024, resulted in the death of a woman named Revathi and left her son seriously injured, sparking widespread debate on event safety.
Authorities investigated the overcrowding at the theatre entrance, which police attribute to fans attempting to see Allu Arjun. While the actor had previously offered support to the victim's family and medical aid to the injured child, the court's summons requires his personal appearance for the upcoming hearing, as the trial for the benefit show tragedy gains momentum.
