Actor Allu Arjun Questioned by Police Over Stampede Incident
Hyderabad: Actor Allu Arjun appeared at the Chikkadpally Police Station this morning for questioning about the stampede incident at Sandhya Theatre. The police had issued a notice asking him to arrive by 11 AM today. This follows the High Court granting him four weeks of interim bail last week after his arrest in the case.
Allu Arjun is listed as the 11th accused in the case. He reached the station earlier today, where ACP Ramesh Kumar, along with Central Zone DCPs, is leading the investigation.
Police to Record Allu Arjun’s Statement
During the inquiry, the police are expected to show Allu Arjun footage of the stampede. They will record his statement to clarify key details about the events that led to the tragedy.
Key Questions for the Actor
The police are focusing on several important questions, including:
1. Why a procession was organized near Sandhya Theatre.
2. Whether the theatre management advised against his visit.
3. If the actor or his PR team had obtained police permission for the event.
4. The role of his PR team in assessing and managing the situation on the ground.
5. Whether he was aware of the death of Revathi, who lost her life in the stampede.
Other questions aim to uncover why safety measures were not taken and why the actor did not leave the venue when the ACP instructed him to do so.
Security Tightened at Police Station
To prepare for Allu Arjun’s visit, heavy security was deployed at the Chikkadpally Police Station. This was done to control the crowds of fans and media gathered outside.
The stampede occurred during a promotional event for one of Allu Arjun’s films. It led to injuries and the tragic death of a woman named Revathi. The actor’s responses during today’s questioning are expected to provide critical insights into the incident and its aftermath.
