Allu Arjun vs Telangana Police: On one hand, ‘Pushpa-2’ is continuously dominating the box office and breaking all the earning records, while on the other hand, the controversy related to it also does not seem to be ending. Now the police and actor Arjun Allu have come face to face in the case of woman’s death due to stampede during the screening of this film.
Telangana Police has termed all the arguments of actor Allu Arjun and claims of his innocence as false and has once again blamed him for this incident. This time the police has also kept a big evidence in its favor. Hyderabad Police on Sunday (December 22, 2024) shared a CCTV footage of Sandhya Theatre, in which Allu Arjun and his team are seen running out of the premises amid tight police security after the stampede.
Telangana Police replied
A senior Telangana Police officer alleged that Allu Arjun’s team did not allow them to meet the actor personally even after the incident. ACP Ramesh said, “Allu Arjun’s manager Santosh was the first to be informed about the death when they (the cast and crew) were watching the film in the theatre. We also told him that the situation was going out of control and A boy has been admitted to the hospital. Even after this, Santosh and others did not allow us to meet the actor.”
CM Revanth Reddy also raised questions on the actor
Meanwhile, Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has claimed that Allu Arjun had gone to the theater for the premiere despite not getting police permission. “The actors did not leave the cinema hall, due to which the police forcibly threw them out,” Reddy alleged. The Chief Minister said that the theater management had approached the police on December 2, requesting security arrangements for the possible visit of the film’s lead actors and other guests on December 4. However, the police rejected the request citing concerns over crowd control and said it was not possible as the theater has only one entry and exit gate.
The actor gave this clarification in his support
On the other hand, on Sunday, actor Allu Arjun has given clarification on the allegations of police and CM Revanth Reddy. He refuted the allegations, saying, “This is not true… In fact the police were paving the way for me and I had reached the venue under their instructions.” Earlier on Saturday (21 December 2024), Allu Arjun had said in a press conference that no policeman had come to meet him in the theatre. Allu Arjun had declared himself innocent in this case.
Politics also intensified in this matter
At the same time, politics has also intensified in this matter. Opposition parties BJP and Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) have accused the Congress government of tarnishing the image of the National Award-winning actor. He termed the action against Allu Arjun as state sponsored terrorism.
What did BJP say?
BJP leader Amit Malviya said the actor was being targeted for refusing to campaign for the Congress. Malviya posted on Twitter, “National Award winning actor Allu Arjun’s house was pelted with stones. This is state sponsored terrorism. Congress is targeting Allu Arjun because he refused to campaign for them. He should be arrested first.” He was arrested for a crime he didn’t commit.”
What did Congress say?
BRS leader KT Rama Rao also condemned the action against Allu Arjun and wrote, “The arrest of National Award winning star Allu Arjun is the pinnacle of insecurity of the rulers! I completely sympathize with the victims of the stampede, but in reality Who failed? It is unfair to look at Allu Arjun garu as a common culprit, especially for something for which he is not directly responsible.”
Vandalism outside the actor’s house
At the same time, the police has taken action in the case of vandalism that took place during the demonstration at actor Allu Arjun’s house in Jubilee Hills on Sunday (22 December 2024). Police detained 6 people. DCP West Zone Hyderabad said that a case has been registered against 6 people and others involved in the above crimes and strict action is being taken against all of them as per law. He said that the public is informed that no such lawless behavior will be tolerated and strict legal action will be taken against anyone who tries to take the law into their own hands. On the other hand, CM Revanth Reddy has ordered DGP and Hyderabad CP to take strict action in the matter of tomatoes being thrown at Allu Arjun’s house.
What is the matter?
On December 4, 2024, Allu Arjun reached Sandhya Theater with his team for the screening of the film Pushpa-2. During this time the crowd also gathered to see Arjun. Arjun was watching a movie inside when a stampede broke out outside and a woman died and her 8-year-old son was seriously injured.
