Hyderabad, Dec 23 (NationPress) The police in Hyderabad have called upon Tollywood star Allu Arjun for questioning on Tuesday concerning the Sandhya Theatre stampede incident.
On Monday, a formal notice was delivered to the actor, instructing him to report to Chikkadpally Police Station at 11 a.m. on Tuesday.
The actor's legal representatives visited his home to formulate a response strategy following this recent development.
During the stampede at Sandhya Theatre on December 4, a woman lost her life and her son sustained severe injuries while attending the premier of 'Pushpa 2: The Rule'.
Charges of culpable homicide not amounting to murder have been filed against the theatre management, Allu Arjun, and his team.
The star, identified as accused number 11 by the police, was taken into custody on December 13 and subsequently brought before a city court, which ordered his detention for 14 days.
Nonetheless, the Telangana High Court granted him a four-week interim bail on the same day, leading to his release from Chanchalguda Jail the following day.
The new notice to Allu Arjun arrives amid speculation that law enforcement intends to petition the High Court to revoke his interim bail.
Hyderabad Police Commissioner C. V. Anand stated on Sunday that the police would determine their next course of action following legal consultation. He also made public minute-by-minute CCTV footage of the Sandhya Theatre incident, aiming to counter Allu Arjun's assertions.
The police compiled a 10-minute video to accurately depict the events of December 4, having analyzed over 1,000 video clips.
In a statement to the Assembly on Saturday, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy criticized Allu Arjun for visiting the theatre without police authorization and hosting a 'roadshow' after the tragic stampede that resulted in a woman's death and her son's serious injuries. On the same day, Allu Arjun held a press conference, dismissing the allegations as unfounded and expressing his distress over what he termed as 'character assassination.'
