**Hyderabad, [Date]** – Telugu film superstar Allu Arjun’s arrest and subsequent release on bail following a fatal incident at a movie theater has sparked widespread controversy. The incident, which resulted in the death of a woman and left her son critically injured, has led to Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s strong reaction.
In an interview with Aaj Tak, Reddy stated that the law must be applied equally to everyone, regardless of their celebrity status. He questioned the delay in Allu Arjun’s arrest, approximately ten days after the incident, and criticized the alleged preferential treatment afforded to film stars. Reddy highlighted that while Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt faced arrests for similar incidents, the ten-day delay in Arjun’s case raised concerns about potential bias.
He emphasized that the deceased woman’s son remains in a critical condition and questioned the perceived lack of accountability. Reddy clarified that while he personally knows Allu Arjun and his family, his official position requires him to uphold the law. He further stated that the Home Ministry report on the incident is with him and the investigation is underway.
Reddy also commented on the film industry’s contribution to society, suggesting it doesn’t warrant special treatment under the law. He concluded by stating that everyone is subject to the same legal framework. The arrest has ignited a national debate regarding the application of the law to celebrities and the responsibilities of public figures. Further developments are expected as the investigation continues. Allu Arjun’s lawyer successfully secured his bail, but the details surrounding the lawyer’s identity and fees remain undisclosed. The incident also prompted a statement of grief from actress Rashmika Mandanna. Meanwhile, the growing global popularity of electric vehicles is highlighted in a separate recent survey.
