Allu Arjun to police while arrest at his residence: 'Wanted to change my clothes, but you didn't allow'

On December 13, 2024, Telugu actor Allu Arjun was arrested at his residence in connection with the stampede that occurred during the premiere of his film 'Pushpa 2: The Rule'. A video surfaced showing him speaking with police during the arrest. During his arrest, Allu Arjun was heard telling the police that he wanted to change his clothes but was not allowed to do so.

The incident took place at Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad and resulted in the death of a 39-year-old woman named Revathi, while her eight-year-old son was hospitalized due to suffocation. Authorities reported that a large crowd gathered to see Allu Arjun without prior notification to the police about his attendance, leading to bad crowd management. The stampede was triggered when fans surged forward to catch a glimpse of the actor, causing chaos as the theatre's main gate collapsed under pressure.



Following the incident, police filed cases against Allu Arjun, his security team, and the theatre management under charges related to guilty killing not amounting to murder and voluntarily causing hurt. The actor expressed his condolences to the victim's family and pledged financial support as a gesture of goodwill..
