Allu Arjun was taken into custody in relation to the Sandhya Theatre stamp scandal.

Tollywood actor Allu Arjun is arrested by Hyderabad police for a stampede incident that occurred during the film's premiere. Popular Tollywood actor Allu Arjun was taken into custody by Hyderabad Police on Friday in relation to a stampede-like incident that occurred at the city theater on December 4 during the launch of his most recent film, Pushpa 2: The Rule.

A 35-year-old mother named Revathi died in this terrible occurrence, and her nine-year-old son, Shri Teja, was hospitalized after suffocating. Allu Arjun was taken from his Jubilee Hills home by a police team from the Chikkadpally Police Station and taken in for interrogation. According to officials, his role in the crowded incident will be the main focus of the investigation.

A huge crowd of admirers arrived to see the actor at Sandhya Theater, which is situated at the busy RTC Crossroads, creating a situation akin to a stampede. Chaos broke out as the gathering grew, which is what happened. Captured in the chaos, Revathi and her son were severely suffocated. Revathi passed away even though she was taken to the hospital right after, and her kid is still being monitored by doctors.

According to Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Akshansh Yadav, the actor's crew and the theater management had not previously notified authorities of the visit. Yadav claimed that although the theater management was aware of the actor's presence, they did not set up proper security or enforce crowd control procedures.

Fans tried to follow Allu Arjun into the movie theater when he arrived with his special security detail. "The actor's security team started pushing people, which made the already chaotic situation worse," the DCP added. Revathi and her son were saved from the lower balcony by responding police officers. Before they were sent to the hospital, CPR was given on the spot. A case has been filed at Chikkadpally Police Station against Allu Arjun, his security detail, and the theater management under Sections 105 and 118 (1) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) in response to a complaint from the deceased's relatives.
