Hyderabad: Popular actor Allu Arjun is scheduled to virtually appear before the Nampally Court on Friday regarding the Sandhya Theatre stampede case. The hearing for his regular bail petition is also expected to take place on the same day.
The actor was arrested on December 13 in connection with the unfortunate incident that occurred at Sandhya Theatre on December 4 during the premiere of his film, Pushpa 2: The Rule. A woman lost her life in the stampede and Allu Arjun was named as accused number 11 in the case. He was sent to judicial custody for 14 days by the Nampally Court. However, with the help of his lawyers, he was granted interim bail by the High Court on the same day.
The High Court directed Allu Arjun to approach the trial court for regular bail. He was released from Chanchalguda Jail the following day. As the 14-day judicial remand period comes to an end on December 27, the actor is required to appear before the court for further procedures.
In light of the current situation and to avoid any chaos at the court premises, Allu Arjun's lawyers, Niranjan Reddy and Ashok Reddy, have requested the court's permission for his virtual appearance. Along with this, they have also filed a regular bail petition. On December 24, the police questioned Allu Arjun for three hours at Chikkadpally Police Station based on a 10-minute video compiled from CCTV footage of the incident.
The police released the video to refute the actor's claims about the incident. The Chief Minister, Revanth Reddy, had also expressed his disappointment with Allu Arjun's actions in the Assembly on December 21. He criticized the actor for visiting the theatre without police permission and conducting a 'roadshow' while entering and leaving the theatre, after the stampede occurred. Allu Arjun, in turn, addressed these allegations at a press conference, stating that they were false and that he was hurt by the character assassination.
The day after the stampede, the police booked the theatre management, Allu Arjun, and his team for culpable homicide not amounting to murder. The investigation is still ongoing and Allu Arjun's virtual appearance in court will play a significant role in determining the next steps in this case. We hope that the truth will come to light and justice will be served for all those affected by this tragedy.
