Hyderabad: The Nampally Court has directed the police to file a counter regarding the regular bail petition submitted by actor Allu Arjun in connection with the Sandhya Theatre stampede case. This development comes after the expiration of the interim bail previously granted to the actor by the High Court.
Allu Arjun’s legal team filed the petition seeking regular bail after the interim bail period ended. The court’s request for a police counter indicates that further discussions will take place before a decision is made on the regular bail plea.
The tragic stampede occurred during a promotional event for the movie Pushpa 2: The Rule at Sandhya Theatre. The incident resulted in one fatality and left several others injured. Police are continuing their investigation into the matter, and the court’s directive reflects the seriousness of the case.
In the upcoming court session, Allu Arjun’s lawyers are expected to present arguments in support of his regular bail. The outcome of the hearing is being closely monitored, as it could set a precedent for handling large-scale public events and the accountability of event organizers.
The Nampally Court will review the police counter before issuing its final decision. The ruling is anticipated to have significant repercussions for both Allu Arjun and the broader film industry.
