A Nampally court, which was hearing the regular bail petition of actor Allu Arjun, adjourned the hearing to December 30. The court had previously placed the actor under 14 day’s judicial remand that was set to expire today.
The actor appeared virtually for the court hearing today, in connection with an ongoing investigation into the death of a 35-year-old woman in a stampede during Pushpa 2 screening at a theatre.
During the proceedings, the public prosecutor sought additional time to file a counter, prompting the court to defer the arguments for the bail plea.
The actor’s legal team informed the court about the interim bail granted to him earlier by the Telangana High Court.
Meanwhile, the court also postponed the hearing related to the extension of Allu Arjun’s judicial remand to January 10.
The Sandhya Theatre stampede case has drawn significant public and legal attention, with the actor’s bail plea being a focal point of the legal proceedings. The next hearing is expected to address both the public prosecutor’s counter and the actor’s petition for regular bail.
A 35-year-old woman was killed and her eight-year-old son is in the intensive care unit in a private hospital after the stampede during the benefit show of Allu Arjun starrer Pushpa 2 at Sandhya Theatre on December 4.
Three weeks after the incident, the accused, including the actor and theatre management, are being questioned while the child is still battling for life at the hospital.
Recently, Allu Arjun and the makers of Pushpa 2 announced a compensation of Rs 2 crore to the family of the child. While Rs 1 crore was given by Allu Arjun, Mythri Movies and director Sukumar gave Rs 50 lakh each. The compensation was handed over to the family by film producer and chairperson of the Telangana Film Development Corporation, Dil Raju.
