Telugu actor Allu Arjun appeared before the Hyderabad Police on Tuesday following a summons issued regarding the Sandhya Theatre stampede on December 4. The tragic incident occurred during the premiere of his film Pushpa 2: The Rule, resulting in the death of a woman named Revathi and injuries to her son.
This incident has led to significant public and political controversy surrounding Allu Arjun. The actor was briefly arrested on December 13, and his residence in Jubilee Hills faced vandalism on Sunday. Despite being granted four weeks of interim bail, the police summoned him again to assist in the ongoing investigation.
Political Reactions to the Stampede Case
The case has stirred political debates. BRS MLA Harish Rao criticized Congress leader Revanth Reddy, accusing him of using the incident to target Allu Arjun. Rao stated, “There are serious issues in Telangana, like problems faced by farmers and minorities. However, Revanth is focused on attacking Allu Arjun. Congress has failed to fulfill campaign promises and would lose deposits if elections were held today.”
On the other hand, BJP leader Raghunandan Rao called the case a minor issue and urged the police not to take harsh action. He commented, “This is a small case. Instead of blaming theater management or the police for the stampede, the focus is on the actor. The court has already granted him 30 days of bail, and the police should avoid any actions that seem like revenge.”
