Hyderabad: Narella Sharada, chairperson of the Telangana Women’s Commission, and Manda Krishna Madiga, head of the Madiga Reservation Porata Samiti, visited M. Sri Teja, the eight-year-old boy injured in the Sandhya Theatre stampede, at KIMS Hospital on Sunday.
The incident occurred during the premiere of ‘Pushpa 2’, when a large crowd trying to see actor Allu Arjun caused a stampede. Sri Teja’s mother M. Revati had died and the Sri Tej was seriously injured.
During the visit, Sharada spoke to M. Bhaskar, Sri Tej’s father, who stated that Arjun was covering the child’s medical expenses. She assured the family that the government would provide any additional support that they needed.
Manda Krishna Madiga also met with the family, giving them moral courage and discussing Sri Teja’s condition with his father and the doctors. He described the incident as an unfortunate tragedy.
In a message on Sunday, Allu Arjun expressed his deep concern for Sri Tej’s condition and said that he was covering the medical expenses.
In a tweet, the actor said, “I remain deeply concerned about young Sri Teja, who is under constant medical care after the unfortunate incident. Due to the ongoing legal proceedings, I have been advised not to visit him and his family at this time.”
“My prayers remain with them, and I remain committed to addressing the medical and family needs. I wish him a speedy recovery, and I look forward to meeting him and his family at the earliest,” Arjun said in his post.
