Allu Arjun 'cancels' hospital visit
Additionally, the court instructed the actor not to change his residential address without prior intimation to the court till the disposal of the case. He was further asked not to leave the country without prior permission of the court. The SHO of Ramgopalpet Police Station served a notice to Arjun on his proposed plan to visit the hospital (to visit the boy undergoing treatment) on Sunday, asking him to "reconsider" his decision in view of heightened public interest in this matter and to ensure minimal disruption to hospital operations and other patients.
If he still intends to visit the hospital, then the actor's management was asked to coordinate with hospital authorities and the police to plan his entry and exit in such a way that minimises inconvenience to the hospital inmates and the public, police said. The police also advised him maintaining the confidentiality of his visit to "prevent any gathering of public/media at the premises" which could disturb the peaceful environs of the hospital. The actor, however, cancelled his visit to the hospital, citing "advice" from his legal team, official sources told PTI.
What happened at Sandhya theatre
The incident took place on December 4, when a stampede-like situation erupted at Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad as fans gathered to catch a glimpse of the actor during the Pushpa 2 premiere. A 35-year-old woman lost her life, and her eight-year-old son sustained injuries in the chaos and is undergoing treatment at a hospital in the city.
Following the tragedy, a case was registered against Arjun, his security team, and the theatre management at the Chikkadpally police station. The charges were filed under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) based on a complaint by the deceased woman’s family. Arjun was arrested on December 13 in connection with the case. However, the Telangana High Court granted him interim bail on December 14, which is set to expire on January 10.
