January 3rd 2025.
On Friday, a court granted regular bail to Allu Arjun, a popular Telugu actor who was accused of being involved in the death of a woman during a stampede at the premiere of his movie, "Pushpa-2", in Hyderabad. The II Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge had been listening to arguments from both the actor's lawyers and the police and reserved the order until today.
In order to be released on bail, the court instructed Allu Arjun to provide two sureties who would each have to pay a bond of Rs 50,000, in addition to his own bond for the same amount. As part of the bail conditions, the actor is required to appear before the investigating officer every Sunday from 10 am to 1 pm for the next two months or until the charge sheet is filed, whichever comes first.
The court made it clear that Allu Arjun must not interfere with the investigation in any way and is not allowed to make any promises, threats, or inducements to any witnesses that could prevent them from disclosing information to the court or police. The order also stated that the actor must cooperate with the investigation and must not attempt to interfere with the ongoing investigation or intimidate any witnesses.
Furthermore, the court ruled that Allu Arjun must not change his residential address without informing the court beforehand until the case is resolved. He is also not allowed to leave the country without prior permission from the court.
Allu Arjun was arrested on December 13 and was released from jail on December 14 after the Telangana High Court granted him interim bail for four weeks, which will end on January 10. The actor, who was named as the 11th accused in the case, had filed a regular bail petition in court and appeared through video conference on December 27.
The incident occurred on December 4 at the Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad, where a 35-year-old woman lost her life and her eight-year-old son was injured in a stampede-like situation as fans tried to get a glimpse of Allu Arjun at the premiere of his movie "Pushpa 2". A case was registered against the actor, his security team, and the theatre management under various sections of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita at the Chikkadpally police station, based on a complaint filed by the deceased woman's family.
