Telugu Actor Allu Arjun Faced Backlash After Alleged Negligence During 'Pushpa-2' Screening

Hyderabad, Telangana - The Hyderabad Police has come under fire for allegedly allowing Telugu actor Allu Arjun to remain inside a crowded cinema hall during the screening of his film 'Pushpa-2' on December 4, even after being warned about a potential stampede. The incident resulted in the death of a woman and left many others injured.

In a shocking turn of events, footage obtained by police suggests that the actor was told to leave the theatre due to the growing crowd, but he allegedly refused, saying he would only exit once he had watched the film. Despite being informed about the stampede incident earlier, authorities failed to persuade him to leave promptly.

"I along with another officer told his manager about the woman's death and asked him to meet Allu Arjun," a police official revealed. However, they were reportedly rejected by the actor's representatives, leaving fans to continue thronging the theatre, putting themselves at risk of harm.

Meanwhile, amidst allegations that bouncers hired by the actor pushed crowds and policemen during the stampede, authorities have vowed to take stringent action against perpetrators and hold them accountable for any wrongdoing. Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has also condemned the vandalism outside Allu Arjun's home and demanded justice for the victims of the stampede.

Critics are now questioning the authorities' handling of the situation and urging accountability from those involved in organizing the event despite being aware of potential hazards.

Case Developments Continuing to Unfold

As news continues to emerge, many are left calling for greater scrutiny into how this incident unfolded and the authorities' responsibility in ensuring public safety.
