Hyderabad, Dec 13, 2024, By news on air

Telugu star Allu Arjun has been detained by the Hyderabad Police in connection with a tragic stampede at the premiere of his film Pushpa 2. The incident occurred on December 4 when a stampede-like situation happened at the premiere show of his latest film, Pushpa 2 at a theatre in Hyderabad.    

According to authorities, the stampede was triggered by an unmanaged surge of fans attempting to enter the theatre for a chance to see Allu Arjun. Police officials stated they were not informed in advance that the Pushpa 2 team would be attending the event, leading to insufficient crowd management measures.
