Security upped at Allu Arjun’s house ahead of questioning by cops | Top updates
New Delhi: Security at actor Allu Arjun’s house has been stepped up ahead of his questioning by the Hyderabad police on Tuesday as part of the ongoing probe into the stampede during the screening of his latest film ‘Pushpa-2: The Rule’.
On Monday, a Hyderabad court granted bail to six persons who were arrested for allegedly vandalising his residence a day back. The vandalism took place amid a mounting controversy about the actor’s culpability in the death of a fan during the stampede at the premiere of Pushpa-2. A political slugfest took place after the vandalism with the BJP joining the BRS in slamming the Congress government.
Allu Arjun was called for questioning to the Chikkadpally police station in Hyderabad. Earlier, the actor said he would cooperate with the investigation.
Here are top updates on ‘Pushpa 2’ screening stampede case:
- The summoning notice to Allu Arjun came a day after police Commissioner C V Anand released a video depicting the sequence of events at the Sandhya Theatre where the stampede took place.
- In the stampede, a woman was killed and her son critically injured. Allu Arjun, his security team, and the theatre management have been charged with culpable homicide not amounting to murder. The police have arrested the theatre owner, general manager, and security manager.
- After the vandalism incident at the actor’s house on Sunday evening, six people, who claimed to be members of Osmania University – Joint Action Committee (OU-JAC), were arrested. They allegedly broke flower pots and hurled tomatoes at Arjun’s residence.
