About Arjun's arrest, bail

Arjun was released on Saturday morning from the jail where he spent the night after being arrested in connection with the death of a woman in a stampede during the premiere of his latest film. Arjun had to spend Friday night in prison despite the Telangana High Court granting him bail, as the authorities had not received a copy of the bail order until late last night.

Arjun spoke about his arrest for first time

After reaching home, Arjun thanked his followers and others across the country for their love and support and said he is a law-abiding citizen and respects the law. “I’ll cooperate with them, and I’ll do the needful. And very importantly, I would like to give my condolences once again to the family. It ( death of a woman) is very, very unfortunate,” he told the media.

On his arrest, the 42-year-old actor said he believed in the law and respected it. “When the law is taking its course, I should not deal with the case, so I should not talk about it. From a legal standpoint, I would not like to talk about it,” he said. Arjun said it was a challenging time for his family.

What had happened at Pushpa 2 screening

A 35-year-old woman died, and her eight-year-old son was hospitalised on December 4 during a stampede-like situation at the Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad when thousands of fans jostled to have a glimpse of the actor at the premiere of the blockbuster Pushpa 2: The Rule.

Following the incident, the city police registered a case against Allu Arjun, his security team, and the theatre management under different sections of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) at the Chikkadpally police station based on the complaint lodged by the deceased woman's family.
