Allu Arjun released after spending night in jail 

Allu Arjun stepped out of Chanchalguda Central Jail here on Saturday morning after spending the night in the prison in the case relating to a stampede at a theatre during the premier show of Pushpa 2: The Rule. The actor, who was granted interim bail by Telangana High Court on Friday evening an hour after a lower court sent him to judicial custody for 14 days, had to spend the night in the jail due to a delay in the prison authorities receiving bail orders. The prison authorities released the national award-winning actor from the rear gate of the jail. He was sent in an escort vehicle.

Earlier, there was suspense on Friday night over his release. Jail authorities said they received the bail order late in the night and since the prisoners can’t be released during night hours as per the prison manual, the actor would be released the next morning. Allu Arjun spent the night in Manjeera block as a special class status given by the Nampally Court that remanded him on Friday.
