Actor Allu Arjun returned to his residence in Hyderabad on Saturday morning after securing interim bail in the Sandhya Theatre stampede case. The Telugu star was arrested on Friday in connection with the incident, which occurred during the premiere of Pushpa 2: The Rule on December 4.
After reaching home, the actor thanked his fans for their support, saying, “Nothing to worry, I am doing well. I would like to thank my fans for their support. I am a law-abiding citizen and will fully cooperate with the police. My heartfelt condolences to the deceased lady’s family. The accident was unintentional, and I deeply regret what happened.”
Sneha Reddy got emotional as soon as she met Allu Arjun.
Before going home, Arjun, along with his father, Allu Aravind, visited Geetha Arts (their production house) office. Film producer Dil Raju visited the actor after he was released from Chanchalguda jail.
The actor’s son, Allu Ayaan, and his wife Sneha Reddy, were seen waiting for him to return home early on Saturday morning.
The Telangana High Court granted Arjun interim relief late on Friday on a personal bond of Rs 50,000. Fans of the actor gathered outside his Jubilee Hills home, cheering for the Pushpa star.
The stampede, which took place at Sandhya Theatre, led to the death of Revathi, a 39-year-old woman, while her 8-year-old son was hospitalised.
In the aftermath, Hyderabad police registered a case against Allu Arjun, his security team, and the theatre management under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), based on a complaint filed by the woman’s family.
In a dramatic turn of events, the national award-winning actor was taken to Chikkadpally police station and later produced before the Nampally court on Friday. The court remanded him to 14 days of judicial custody, following which he was moved to jail under heavy security.
Allu Arjun soon approached the Telangana High Court, seeking relief from the charges and the quashing of the FIR. The court granted him interim bail for four weeks.
Since his arrest, fans have rallied behind Arjun, trending the hashtag We Stand For Allu Arjun on social media. Several celebrities from the film industry have also voiced their support for the actor. However, Allu Arjun is yet to make a public statement following his arrest.
