Actor Allu Arjun was arrested on December 13, 2024, in relation to the tragic stampede that occurred during the premiere of Pushpa 2: The Rule at Sandhya Theatre, Hyderabad.

Authorities have charged Allu Arjun, his security team, and the theatre management under culpable homicide and endangering public safety.
The arrest followed questioning by the police, though Allu Arjun’s team has raised concerns, alleging that no formal arrest memo was issued at the time of detention. Fans of the actor have gathered outside the police station to express their support, while political leaders and other figures have also commented on the situation.
