Allu Aravind addressed vandalism
Talking to the press at the home he shares with Arjun, Aravind said, “Everyone has seen what happened at our house today. But it is time for us to act accordingly. Now is not the right time for us to react to anything.”
He also updated the press that the police have arrested the vandalisers, stating, “The police have taken in the offenders and filed a case against them. The police are ready to take away anyone else who comes here to create a ruckus. No one should encourage incidents like these.”
Aravind then reiterated that it was not the right time for him to talk about the issue and said, “But I will not react just because the media is here. Now is the time to practice restraint. The law will take its own course.”
What happened
Protesters broke flower pots and pelted tomatoes at Arjun and Aravind’s home on Sunday, demanding the actor look after the victim’s family. One protester told the press, “We demand that Allu Arjun take care of the late Revathi’s family. Why did so many film personalities visit him when he came out of jail after being there for 6 months, but none of them cared when a woman died.” Arjun’s children Ahaan and Arha who were home during the attack were sent to their maternal uncle’s home.
On December 4, Arjun visited Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad with his family and co-star Rashmika Mandanna. His visit caused a stampede-like situation resulting in the death of a woman and hospitalisation of her young son in critical condition. The actor was arrested in the case on December 13 and released on December 14 after the HC granted him interim bail.
Telangana CM Revanth Reddy has levelled fresh allegations against the actor that he was informed about the woman’s death when he was in the theatre. The Telangana police also backed this version of events but the actor insists he knew of the incident only on the next day.
