What is the update on Allu Arjun's case?

Days after the FIR against Allu Arjun, on December 13 the actor was arrested by the Chikkadapally Police and held overnight at Chanchalaguda Central Jail. Later Nampally Court sent him to a 14-day remand, but the Telangana High Court granted him a 4-week interim bail. The Hyderabad police are now likely to challenge the bail verdict. Insiders in the know have exclusively told Republic TV that the police have submitted a letter to the prosecution and AAG from the police side states that the management of Sandhya Theatre was advised not to allow Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna to attend the Pushpa 2 premiere on December 4 which led to the stampede and subsequent death of a 35-year-old woman.

As per the police, it was also informed to the theatre management that crowd control would not be possible if the stars attended the premiere. The authorities will now appeal to the high court to retract the bail order.
