Actor Allu Arjun has been arrested and sent to 14-day judicial custody following a deadly stampede at the Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad during the premiere of Pushpa 2.
The incident, which took place on December 4, led to the death of 35-year-old Revathi and left several others injured.
Hyderabad police have charged the actor with culpable homicide not amounting to murder, accusing him of negligence in handling event safety. The charges claim that while Arjun did not intend to kill, his actions contributed to the fatal incident.
Officials say overcrowding and poor safety measures were key factors in the stampede. Critics have raised concerns about the event's poor planning and organization. The investigation is ongoing, and more details are expected.
