Allu Arjun Arrested Live: Telangana HC to Hear Actor's Urgent Petition Seeking To Quash FIR Today

Following his medical examination, Allu Arjun was brought to the Nampally Court where he will be presented in front of a judge. 

Varun Dhawan, who is gearing up for the release of his film Baby John spoke about Allu Arjun's arrest at the film's pre-release event. The actor supported the Pushpa 2 star and said, “Safety protocols can't be solely the responsibility of an actor. We can inform people around us. The incident was tragic and I express my condolences, but blame can't be placed on just one person.” 

Leaked documents show that adequate police permission was sought before the premiere of Pushpa 2 at Sandhya Theatre on December 4. The notice clearly stated that Allu Arjun and other members of the film team would be present at the event. The theatre had requested extra police deployment for the same. 

Following Allu Arjun's arrest, the Chief Minister Of Telangana Sri Anumula Revanth Reddy took to social media to issue a statement. The note read, “The law will take care of itself. I will have no involvement in this. All are equal before the law.” 

Brother of Pawan Kalyan, actor and politician, Naga Babu Konidela arrived at the residence of Allu Arjun following his arrest. 

MLA Raja Singh took to his social media account to pen a note in support of the Pushpa 2 actor. He stressed that the tragic incident that occurred at Sandhya Theatre was the fault of police authorities and not the actor. 

After the arrest of Allu Arjun, Tollywood actor Chiranjeevi arrived at the residence of Allu Arjun and spoke to his family. 

Doctors at Gandhi Hospital have confirmed that the Pushpa 2 star is in the best of health. Allu Arjun will now be taken to the court for hearing on the stampede incident. 

Allu Arjun had filed a petition in Telangana High Court to remove his name from the FIR in the Sandhya Theatre stampede case. Following his arrest, the court has allowed him to expedite the petition and hear the matter today at 4 PM. 

Allu Arjun has spoken to his lawyer to request an urgent High Court hearing relating to his arrest. The day before yesterday, the actor had moved the High Court seeking quashing of the FIR lodged against him.
 

Allu Arjun's team has broken silence on his arrest. They have alleged that the authorities served no arrest memo before taking him in custody.

Fans of the actor gathered outside the Chikkadapally police station where Allu Arjun has been taken into custody. Photos and videos of fans showing their support for the actor are now doing rounds on social media. 

According to reports, the Hyderabad police took Allu Arjun to Gandhi hospital before bringing the Pushpa 2 actor to court. However, an official confirmation is awaited on the same. 

ACP L Ramesh Kumar confirmed the arrest of Allu Arjun. He said, “Yes, he (Actor Allu Arjun) has been arrested.”

Ram Charan starrer Game Changer producer Dil Raju arrived at the Chikkadpally police station to support the actor. 
 

BRS President and former Minister KTR took to his X (formerly Twitter) account to pen a note in support of Allu Arjun. He wrote, “I totally sympathize with the victims of the stampede but who failed really? Treating @alluarjun Garu as a common criminal is uncalled for especially for something he isn’t directly responsible. There is always space for respect & dignified conduct. I strongly condemn the high handed behaviour of Govt. Going by the same perverse logic, Revanth Reddy should be arrested for causing the death of two innocent people who died in Hyderabad because of the fear psychosis caused by Hydra #AlluArjunArrest”.

Fans of Allu Arjun took to social media to express their disappointment on the actor's arrest. While some alleged that the Pushpa 2 star should not be blamed for the tragic incident, others objected to the way he was taken into custody. 

A viral video shows a police officer taking the Pushpa 2 actor into custody. Allu Arjun can be seen in a casual outfit entering the lift of his Jubilee Hill residence with the officer. 
 

The Hyderabad police registered the case under sections 105 and 118(1) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) at the Chikkadpally police station based on the complaint by the deceased's family. “Case has been registered against Allu Arjun, his security team and the theatre management over the incident,” official sources told PTI.
