Allu Arjun Faces Legal and Public Backlash Over Hyderabad Stampede Incident

The actor is under investigation for his alleged role in a stampede that claimed one life and injured a child during the 'Pushpa 2' premiere, sparking legal, political, and public scrutiny.

A stampede at Hyderabad's Sandhya Theatre during the December 4 premiere of 'Pushpa 2' resulted in the death of a 35-year-old woman and critical injuries to her 8-year-old son.
Actor Allu Arjun, his security team, and theatre management face charges of culpable homicide not amounting to murder, with allegations of ignoring police warnings and failing to manage crowd safety.
The Telangana High Court granted Allu Arjun interim bail after his arrest, but police are considering challenging this decision due to alleged violations of bail conditions.
The victim's husband has expressed support for the actor, citing financial aid provided by Allu Arjun and the film's producers, though public sentiment remains divided.
The incident has escalated into a political controversy, with accusations of mismanagement and protests, including vandalism at Allu Arjun's residence, further complicating the case.
