The stampede, which took place on December 4, 2024, at Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad, resulted in the death of Revathi, a 35-year-old woman, and severe injuries to her son, Sri Tej. The chaos was attributed to overcrowding caused by Allu Arjun's surprise visit to the event, despite police denying permission for his visit. Allu Arjun was briefly arrested on December 13, 2024, but was granted interim bail the same day.Political figures have weighed in on the case. Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and other leaders have accused Allu Arjun of being responsible for the stampede. The Bharatiya Janata Party criticized the Congress-ruled Telangana government for failing to maintain law and order, highlighting the incident as a breakdown in governance and law enforcement.Allu Arjun's father, Allu Aravind, condemned the attack on their home, emphasizing that the police have taken action against the offenders and urging the public to allow the law to take its course. Allu Arjun has pledged to cover the medical expenses of Sri Tej but has refrained from meeting the family until the investigations conclude.
