Actor Allu Arjun has been named in a police chargesheet in connection with the stampede that took place during a screening of Pushpa 2 in Hyderabad, officials confirmed.
The chargesheet has been filed after a detailed investigation into the incident, which left several people injured.
What Happened
The stampede occurred during a special screening of Pushpa 2 at a cinema hall in Hyderabad. A large number of fans gathered at the theatre, leading to overcrowding near the entrance.
As people rushed to get inside, confusion broke out. Several viewers were pushed to the ground and suffered injuries. Emergency services were later called to manage the situation.
Who Has Been Named
According to the police chargesheet, the following have been named in the case:
- Actor Allu Arjun
- The producer of Pushpa 2
- Members of the theatre management staff
Police said the chargesheet was filed after reviewing CCTV footage, witness statements and security arrangements at the venue.
Police Findings
Investigators said the screening lacked proper crowd management measures. The chargesheet points to alleged lapses such as:
- Poor control of large crowds
- Inadequate security deployment
- Lack of clear entry and exit arrangements
These factors, police claim, contributed to the stampede.
What Happens Next
Being named in a chargesheet is part of the legal process and does not mean guilt has been proven. The accused will have the opportunity to present their case in court.
So far, Allu Arjun and the film’s production team have not issued an official statement on the matter.
The case will now proceed through the judicial process as the court examines the chargesheet and hears arguments from both sides.
