Allu Arjun Arrested: Telangana High Court to hear actor's quash petition at shortly

Hyderabad police allegedly took the actor into custody following a stampede-like situation at Sandhya Theatre on December 4. The unfortunate event led to the death of a 35-year-old woman and the hospitalization of her eight-year-old son, both victims of asphyxiation caused by the overwhelming crowd gathered to see the actor.

The tragedy occurred during the premiere of Pushpa 2: The Rule, the highly anticipated sequel in which Allu Arjun reprises his role as Pushpa Raj, the laborer-turned-sandalwood smuggler. Co-starring Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Faasil, the movie is a follow-up to the blockbuster success of Pushpa: The Rise, which amassed ₹300 crore at the box office and expanded Telugu cinema's reach globally.

Police officials from the Chikkadpally station reportedly visited Allu Arjun's residence in Jubilee Hills to take him in for questioning. The situation has sparked discussions about crowd control and event safety measures during high-profile film releases.

The actor's arrest has yet to be officially confirmed by his team or legal representatives, and fans are awaiting further updates on the investigation.
