Allu Arjun granted relaxations amid ongoing legal troubles in 'Pushpa 2' stampede case

The Nampally court in Hyderabad has granted several relaxations to actor Allu Arjun star who is facing legal troubles related to the tragic 'Pushpa 2' stampede case that occurred during the film's premiere. The actor was arrested last month but was later released on bail.

Today on January 11, 2025, it is reported that Allu Arjun has been exempted from appearing at the Chikkadapally police station every Sunday, a request made by his legal team due to security concerns. Additionally, he has been granted permission to travel abroad.

The stampede took place on December 4, 2024, at the Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad when a massive crowd gathered to catch a glimpse of Allu Arjun. The situation escalated when he stepped out of his car to greet fans, resulting in chaos that led to the death of a 35-year-old woman named Revathi and serious injuries to her eight-year-old son, who remains hospitalized.

Following the incident, Allu Arjun was arrested on December 13 and was initially remanded to 14 days of judicial custody. He was granted interim bail shortly after his arrest and later received regular bail on January 3, 2025, after appearing via video conference in court. The court had previously mandated that he report to the police station every Sunday until further notice.

A few days earlier, Allu Arjun visited the hospitalized boy on January 7, expressing his concern for the child's well-being and wishing him a speedy recovery.

Despite his release, Allu Arjun's legal troubles are not over. Reports indicate that police officials may file a petition against his bail, claiming that he refused to leave the theater when asked on the night of the premiere, which contributed to the stampede. The actor has not publicly responded to these allegations.
