Hyderabad: Union minister of state for home Bandi Sanjay Kumar has condemned the way the Hyderabad police arrested actor Allu Arjun on Friday. He said the actor was taken into custody straight from his bedroom without giving him time to change his clothes. This is “a highly disgraceful act of mismanagement and disrespect,” he said.
In his post on social media platform X, the Union minister said a star of Allu Arjun’s stature, who brought global recognition to Indian cinema, deserved better treatment. The death of a woman in a stampede at Sandhya Theatre was extremely unfortunate but it only underscored the Congress government’s failure to manage the massive crowd, Sanjay pointed out.
“The real failure lies in the Congress government’s inability to make proper arrangements for such a high-profile event. This negligence and mishandling are unacceptable. Icon Star and his fans deserve dignity, not chaos," Sanjay said.
