The latest court action comes days after the Pushpa star’s wife Sneha Reddy and his father and producer Allu Aravind visited Sritej and his family.

During the visit, they enquired about his health and assured the family of continued support.

It’s pertinent to mention that Sritej suffered serious injuries in the stampede and remained unconscious for a long period. He later developed respiratory and neurological complications and required ventilator support.

After spending nearly five months in intensive care, he was discharged in April 2025 and shifted to a rehabilitation centre for further treatment.
