What the police had claimed

On December 4, Arjun visited the Sandhya Theater with his wife Allu Sneha Reddy, co-star Rashmika Mandanna and other members of the film’s team. They left the film midway because Arjun claimed they were told that the crowd was getting harder to control. However, his visit led to a stampede that left a woman dead and her young son hospitalized in critical condition. Arjun has since apologized and promised to help the victim’s family financially.

Police have registered a case under Section 105, 118 (1) and other relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS) against Arjun and the management of Sandhya Theater at Chikkadpally police station.
