Telangana CM Revanth Reddy Defends Allu Arjun's Arrest
- IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,December 14 2024]
Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy defended the police action regarding Allu Arjun's arrest, asserting that law enforcement was performing its duty. Arjunâs arrest stemmed from the December 4 stampede at Hyderabadâs Sandhya Theatre, which tragically claimed the life of a 39-year-old woman and left her minor son critically injured.
According to Revanth Reddy, the stampede occurred after Allu Arjun arrived at the theatre and greeted fans from his carâs sunroof, causing the gathered crowd to surge uncontrollably. He emphasized that despite Allu Arjunâs wife, Allu Sneha Reddy, being related to him, family ties did not influence the government's legal actions.
The arrest sparked significant backlash from the film fraternity and political leaders, who criticized the handling of the situation. In response, Revanth Reddy reiterated that the law would follow its due process without interference.
Later, the Telangana High Court granted Allu Arjun interim bail for four weeks, recognizing his constitutional right to life and liberty. This development came after a lower court had initially sent the actor to 14 days of judicial custody.
