The incident occurred when a large crowd gathered to see Allu Arjun, and chaos ensued when the actor stepped out of his vehicle to greet fans. In the ensuing stampede, a woman tragically lost her life, and her son was severely injured, requiring hospitalization. Allu Arjun was initially arrested on December 13, 2024, and sent to 14-day judicial custody, though he was granted interim bail after posting a personal bond of Rs 50,000. However, delays in processing the paperwork resulted in him spending an additional night in jail.

As the police continue their investigation, they plan to present video evidence to the court. They allege that despite being informed of the growing danger and the woman’s death, Allu Arjun’s team failed to relay the information to him, which may have contributed to the chaos. Additionally, the police claim that the actor refused to leave the theater when asked on December 4, further escalating the situation.
Amid the ongoing investigation, protests erupted outside Allu Arjun’s home, with demonstrators demanding justice for the victim. The protests turned violent, resulting in property damage, prompting authorities to increase security around his residence.
