Telangana High Court grants interim bail to Allu Arjun in stampede case
Hyderabad: Telangana High Court here on Friday granted interim bail to the film actor Allu Arjun in connection with the stampede case registered by the Chikkadpally police.
The court gave the order in response to a squash petition filed by Allu Arjun’s lawyers. A few minutes after the arrest of Allu Arjun by the Chikkadpally police in connection with the stampede at Sandhya theatre during the screening of Pushpa-2 movie on December 4, the police took him to the Gandhi hospital for medical checkup.
Accompanied by the police escort team, the Chikkadpally police produced him in the Nampally court, which remanded him to judicial custody for 14 days. Anticipating that a large number of Allu Arjun’s fans would throng the court, the Hyderabad police made massive security arrangements.
A rope party police team was also deployed at the main entrance of the court to prevent the entry of others into the court premises. The police allowed only those who are having valid identity cards and the court duty staff into the premises.
Earlier at the Gandhi hospital, Allu Arjun waved to the crowd after undergoing a medical examination, which is mandatory as per norms after the arrest.
