Virtual Appearance Amidst Court Mandate
Nampally Court asked Telugu actor Allu Arjun to appear in person in the Sandhya Theatre stampede case; however, he appeared virtually.
The Nampally Court adjourned the hearing in the Sandhya Theatre stampede case that left one woman dead during the screening of Pushpa 2: The Rule in December 2024. Allu Arjun was asked to appear in person, but he did so virtually after seeking permission. An advocate for the theatre management revealed to the press that out of the 23 accused in the case, one or two failed to appear in court.
Why the Hearing Was Adjourned to July
Advocate Bhanu Chander spoke to the press and said, “I am here to represent in crime number 376 of 2024 in PRC (Preliminary Related Case) 260 of 2026 from A1 to A10 (the theatre management and partners). Today is the appearance before the Magistrate at Nampally to file a committal bond.”
He revealed why the court adjourned the hearing, adding, “But out of the 23 members (total accused listed in the police chargesheet), 21 or 22 have appeared; one or two are absent. That’s the reason it is posted for July 6 for the next steps for the registration of the SC sessions case. For the next hearing, all 23 members together should appear before the court.” The court adjourned the hearing to July 6.
Allu Arjun’s Financial Aid to Victim’s Family
Arjun and his father, producer Allu Aravind, extended financial assistance to the family and covered their medical bills. Some members from the Pushpa team also extended financial support. Aravind recently visited the family to check on Sritej’s health. Arjun was arrested in the case and released on interim bail in 2024.
The ongoing legal proceedings highlight the serious implications of the Pushpa 2 stampede. With the hearing adjourned, all eyes are on the next court date in July for further developments in this tragic case and the accountability of all involved parties.
