NDTV
According to police, despite being warned about the large gathering and potential risks, Allu Arjun's team failed to take immediate action.
Was there a gross misuse of power by the Telangana government in arresting Telugu superstar Allu Arjun in connection with the death of woman at the premiere of his 'Pushpa 2' movie? 34% of the people or 843 out of 2,502 people answered in the affirmative in an interactive voice response-based survey conducted by Prashanam.
A 35-year-old woman died and her eight-year-old son was hospitalised on December 4 during a stampede-like situation at the Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad when thousands of fans jostled to have a glimpse of the 41-year-old actor at the premiere of the 'Pushpa 2 : The Rule', which is a sequel to 2021's blockbuster film "Pushpa: The Rise".
Thirty three percent or 841 out the 2,502 people surveyed said the police action in the matter was legitimate, while 14% said 'Can't Say', another 19% said they 'Did Not Wish To Answer'.
Following the incident, the city police registered a case against the national award winner actor, his security team, and the theatre management under different sections of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) at the Chikkadpally police station based on the complaint lodged by the victim's family.
