Allu Arjun Arrested Live Updates: Sreeleela REACTS to her Pushpa 2 co-star's arrest

Telugu actor Allu Arjun was arrested on December 13, 2024, in connection with a tragic stampede that occurred during the premiere of his much-anticipated film 'Pushpa 2: The Rule' at Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad. The incident took place on December 4 and resulted in the death of a 39-year-old woman named Revathi, while her eight-year-old son, Sri Teja, suffered critical injuries.

Authorities have filed charges against Allu Arjun, his security team, and the theatre management for culpable homicide not amounting to murder and negligence. The police revealed that they were not informed about the actor's presence at the event, which contributed to inadequate crowd control measures. Following the incident, Allu Arjun expressed his deep condolences to Revathi's family and announced a compensation of Rs 25 lakh for them, along with covering medical expenses for her son.

Allu Arjun Arrested: Actress Payal Rohatgi supports 'Pushpa 2' star; says 'Indians don't like to follow rules'
Allu Arjun Arrested: In a recent Instagram video, actress Payal Rohatgi shared her support for Allu Arjun and said that Indians never follow rules, as they always try to sneak into queues and lines. She said in the clip, "Allu Arjun’s arrest, the ‘Pushpa 2' superstar's arrest, shows that Indian people don't like to follow rules. They never stand in line."

She continued, “Even if you are on a flight, the people at the back won’t wait for those at the front to get off in their turn. They will rush from the back to the front, and the people at the front will make them wait. I don’t know what sadistic pleasure they get from this. So we don’t understand the concept of rules, we don’t understand the concept of a line.”

She further added that the death of the female fan during the premiere and the stampede was not Allu’s fault. “The sympathies and condolences go to the entire family who lost their daughter. But the thing is, she barged in, ran with her son, or was in a situation where she got stuck with her son. That is what happened. But the star did not call her to his house. He went to a public place, and she went to a public place; there was a stampede in that public place. Nowhere can the actor be blamed for this because he was not responsible for managing the security of the public place,” she concluded.
