Allu Arjun was arrested on December 13, 2024, by the Hyderabad police in connection with a tragic incident that occurred during the premiere of his film, Pushpa 2.

Allu Arjun arrest is linked to a stampede that happened on December 4 at Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad

The stampede resulted in the death of a 39-year-old woman named Revathi, while her 13-year-old son sustained critical injuries during the chaos.

Authorities noted that there was no prior notification to police regarding Allu Arjun's attendance, which contributed to inadequate security arrangements at the venue.

Allu Arjun faces charges under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, including culpable homicide not amounting to murder and voluntarily causing hurt due to negligence.

Following a complaint from the victim's family, police registered a case against Allu Arjun.

Three individuals associated with Sandhya Theatre were also arrested, including its owner and a senior manager, for their negligence in managing the crowd.

Allu Arjun expressed his condolences for the victim's family following the incident and has faced significant media scrutiny since his arrest.
