"Allu Arjun is not at fault for coming to the theatre. I am ready to withdraw my case," he told reporters. Bhaskar added that he was not informed by the police about Arjun's arrest and learned about it only from the news. His eight-year-old son, who suffered serious injuries in the incident, has been undergoing treatment at a private super-speciality hospital in Hyderabad. Allu Arjun had announced ₹25 lakh to the family of the deceased and also assured the grieving them that they are not alone in this painful situation and he will meet the family personally.
