Popular Telugu actor Allu Arjun faced questioning by Hyderabad police on Tuesday in connection with the tragic stampede at Sandhya Theater earlier this month, which killed a 35-year-old woman and seriously injured her eight-year-old child.
The 41-year-old actor was summoned to assist in the investigation on Monday. Police inquiries reportedly focused on key aspects of the incident, including his presence at the theater and the circumstances that led to the stampede. Some of the questions asked to the actor include:
– Did you know that police permission was denied for your presence at the premiere?
– Who made the decision to go ahead with your presence despite not being approved?
– Was the police informed at the time of the stampede?
– When did you learn about the victim’s death?
According to sources, the probe is aimed at finding out whether Allu Arjun had the necessary permission to attend the event and interact with fans around the theater known for cinema halls.
The actor’s legal troubles began when he was arrested by the police on December 13, nine days after the incident. He was later remanded in judicial custody for 14 days, but was later granted bail.
The tragedy at Sandhya Theater has raised important questions about crowd control and the responsibilities of celebrities during public appearances, with many calling for stricter rules to prevent such incidents in the future. All eyes are on the ongoing investigation to see if this unfolds.
