Fri Dec 13 17:35:47 UTC 2024: ## Telugu Superstar Allu Arjun Granted Interim Bail in Stampede Case
**Hyderabad, India** – National Award-winning actor Allu Arjun, arrested earlier today in connection with a stampede at a Hyderabad theatre, has been granted interim bail by the High Court.
The incident occurred on April 4th during the screening of Arjun’s film “Pushpa 2,” resulting in the death of one woman, Revathi, and serious injuries to her son. Police filed a case against Arjun under sections 105 and 118 of the BNS (likely a reference to a specific Indian penal code), citing his responsibility for the incident.
Arjun was arrested at his home this afternoon and taken to Chikkadpally police station for questioning. Following a medical examination at Gandhi Hospital, he was presented before a Nampally court which remanded him in judicial custody for 14 days. However, a subsequent bail petition filed in the High Court resulted in the interim bail being granted.
The arrest led to dramatic scenes outside Arjun’s residence and at the Nampally court, with large crowds of fans and media gathering. Heavy security was deployed throughout the day. The High Court’s decision brings a temporary end to this high-profile case. The investigation is ongoing.
