New Delhi. ‘Pushpa 2’ Star Allu Arjun got bail soon after he was taken to judicial custody. This case is related to the incident in which a fan died in a stampede during the screening of his film. Hours after the arrest, allegations of police misconduct started appearing in the media. On this, Hyderabad Police issued a statement on Friday, clarified the situation and justified the detention of the actor.
Police issued official statement
The Deputy Police Commissioner of Hyderabad City Central Zone issued an official statement. It was told that a letter was received demanding security arrangements for the screening of ‘Pushpa 2’. This letter was sent to Chikkadpally ACP on behalf of Sandhya Cine Enterprise 70 MM.
Stampede broke out after the arrival of the actor
According to the police, “We often get demands for security arrangements for political personalities, film stars and other events. But it is not possible with our resources to make arrangements for everyone.”
Police say that the organizers did not meet any official, but only handed over the letter. The crowd was under control till Allu Arjun arrived. But the situation worsened after his arrival.
Allu Arjun’s actions held responsible
Police said, “After Allu Arjun’s arrival, he came out of the sunroof of his car and started waving to the fans. This gesture attracted the crowd towards the main gate of the theatre. At the same time, his security team started pushing people to make way for his vehicle. A woman died in this stampede.”
Police said they were asked to take Allu Arjun back citing the crowd, but the actor and his team ignored it. Allu Arjun was present inside the theater for more than two hours.
Police rejected allegations of misconduct
Allegations of police misconduct were also made regarding the arrest of Allu Arjun. Clarifying on this, the police said, “These allegations are completely false. When the police reached the actor’s house, he asked for some time to change his clothes. The policemen kept waiting outside the house. He was detained only after Allu Arjun came out.”
The police also clarified that Allu Arjun was given enough time to talk to his family and wife before taking him into custody. No policeman either used force or misbehaved with him.
