**Hyderabad, India** – Tollywood actor Allu Arjun was briefly detained by police following a stampede at a theatre screening of his film *Pushpa 2*. The incident, which resulted in the death of one woman, occurred at the Sandhya Theater during the film’s premiere.
While multiple theatres across the city held premieres for *Pushpa 2* without incident, a large crowd gathered at the Sandhya Theater due to the advance knowledge of Allu Arjun’s planned appearance in an open-top jeep. This resulted in a stampede causing the death of one woman.
Police have registered a case against Allu Arjun under sections 105, 118(1), and 3/5 BNS. Section 105 is a non-bailable offense. Allu Arjun was taken to Chikkadpally police station. While details are still emerging, it is unclear whether he received station bail or will appear before a magistrate. The theatre management has filed an affidavit claiming no responsibility for the incident. The investigation is ongoing to determine if the theatre management informed the police of Allu Arjun’s planned visit and took sufficient security measures. The actor’s potential culpability hinges on whether or not prior permission was sought and security arrangements were adequately in place. If no such permissions were sought, both the theatre and Allu Arjun could face further legal consequences. Public reaction has been mixed, with some criticizing the actor’s actions and others pointing to the lack of adequate security. The coming days will reveal further developments in the case.
