During the ongoing assembly sessions in Hyderabad on Saturday, Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy opened up about the controversial arrest of popular Tollywood actor Allu Arjun last week in connection with the death of a woman at Sandhya theatre on the release date of ‘Pushpa 2’.
Revanth Reddy made shocking allegations on Allu Arjun and also revealed in-depth details about the stampede incident which caused the death of a woman named Revathi and deeply injured her son Sri Teja.
Revanth Reddy claimed that Allu Arjun and his team attended the special premiere even after the management of Sandhya 70 MM theatre had warned them not to visit as they couldn’t provide adequate security due to heavy crowds and also because of a single passage into the theatre which might make it a crammed place as thousands of fans would come there.
Despite instructions from the theatre management, Allu Arjun and heroine came there at around 09:30 PM on December 4th. Allu Arjun climbed the rooftop and waved at his supporters and this has led to a huge commotion as thousands of fans from neighbouring screens also barged into the theatre to see the hero, added Revanth Reddy.
Revanth Reddy added that Allu Arjun’s private security pushed people around his convoy and the uncontrollable situation led to unexpected stampede leaving the mother and her kid in unconscious state. The police immediately tried to give first aid and got them admitted in the hospital. But, Revathi couldn’t be saved and the kid was declared brain dead due to lack of oxygen.
The ACP tried to inform the situation to the actor and his team. But, they weren’t allowed by the theatre management. After much difficulty, the ACP had conveyed about the mishap and informed the death of the lady to Allu Arjun. The actor was requested to leave the theatre premises immediately due to the uncontrollable crowd to avoid any further tragedy. But, Allu Arjun didn’t pay heed to the instructions of the police department, alleged Revanth Reddy.
Only after DCP intervened and threated with a potential arrest, Allu Arjun decided to leave the theatre, but once again climbed the rooftop and made hand gestures at the crowd.
As the district Court questioned about the progress in the case, the police department went to Allu Arjun and told him that he was booked as A1. When they wanted him in custody, he misbehaved with the police, added Revanth Reddy in his speech.
After Allu Arjun’s arrest, many from film industry and political spectrum slammed Revanth Reddy’s government. They blamed that it was purely a political arrest because Allu Arjun forgot CM’s name during the success meet held a couple of days ago.
