In a fresh turn regarding the stampede controversy, Allu Arjun has been summoned to Chikkadpally police station over the case of woman's death at Sandhya Theatre during Pushpa 2 premiere.
Hyderabad house was vandalised on Sunday by individuals who claimed to be the OU JAC (Joint Action Committee of Osmania University students). His father, Allu Aravind, addressed the press and 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. The law will take its own course.” A Hyderabad court on Monday granted bail to six individuals.
Arjun had previously addressed the press at his residence in Jubilee Hills and said: “I am sorry something this unfortunate happened in my presence. When people claim I said it’s okay someone died or is hospitalised, that’s character assassination. It hurts me to see false allegations levelled against me.”
On Monday, the producer of the film, Naveen Yerneni of Mythri Movie Makers, donated a sum of ₹50 lakh to the victim's family.
