Telangana DGP Jitender stated that “the law will take its own course regarding the case involving the death of a woman during a stampede at the premiere of the blockbuster film Pushpa-2.“
Telegu superstar Allu Arjun has been named as an accused in this incident. During a year-end press conference on December 29, Jitender responded to questions about the case, emphasizing its ongoing nature,
“The case is already under investigation. The court is also looking into this. It is sub judice. Moreover, law will take its own course. This is what I have to say. Nothing more.”
The tragic event occurred on December 4 at the Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad, where a 35-year-old woman lost her life and her eight-year-old son was injured as fans surged to catch a glimpse of the actor during the premiere. In the aftermath, the city police filed a case against Allu Arjun, his security team, and the theatre management under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) at the Chikkadpally police station, based on a complaint from the deceased woman’s family.
Allu Arjun was arrested on December 13 in connection with the incident and subsequently granted interim bail by the Telangana High Court.
