December 2024: Indian actor Allu Arjun has been granted interim bail following his arrest related to the tragic death of a woman during a stampede at a screening of his film Pushpa 2: The Rule. The Telangana High Court ruled that Arjun should be treated like any other citizen and ordered his release, overturning a lower court’s decision to place him in 14-day custody.
Earlier, authorities had charged Arjun, his security team, and the Sandhya Theatre management in Hyderabad with culpable homicide not amounting to murder and voluntarily causing harm. The incident occurred last week, sparking widespread attention and raising questions about safety measures at public events.
