On December 4, tragedy struck at Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad when a stampede broke out during the premiere show of ‘Pushpa 2: The Rule’. A woman lost her life in the chaos and her young son was seriously injured. The incident prompted an investigation, and Telangana's Director General of Police, Dr. Jitender, addressed the situation on Sunday.
When asked about the case against actor Allu Arjun, who was present at the event, the police chief responded, "Let us not talk about this. The case is already under investigation and the court is also looking into it. It's sub judice, so it's best not to discuss it further." He added, "The law will take its course and that's all I have to say."
The tragic stampede resulted in the police taking action against the theatre management, Allu Arjun, and his team for culpable homicide not amounting to murder. Allu Arjun, who was named as the 11th accused in the case, was arrested on December 13 and remanded to 14-day judicial custody. However, he was granted interim bail by the High Court and released from jail the next day. As the 14-day period came to an end on December 27, Allu Arjun appeared virtually before the Nampally Court, which adjourned the hearing to January 10.
During the investigation, Allu Arjun was also questioned by the police on December 24 for three hours at Chikkadpally Police Station. The police chief also addressed the issue of police personnel suicides in Telangana, stating that there could be multiple reasons behind it such as financial, family, emotional, and personal issues. He refuted claims that work pressure was the main cause, stating that it was a complex issue and could not be generalized. The department has a system in place to address these issues, with officers who counsel employees facing difficulties and seeking outside help if needed.
In conclusion, the tragic stampede at Sandhya Theatre that claimed a woman's life continues to be under investigation and the law will take its course. Allu Arjun, who was present at the event, was arrested but later released on interim bail. The police are also addressing the issue of police personnel suicides through an internal mechanism.
