Pushpa 2 stampede case: Allu Arjun's father Allu Aravind finally breaks silence on protesters vandalising their home

On Sunday, several protesters vandalised flower pots and other things at Allu Arjun's residence in Hyderabad and demanded money for the victim of stampede that occured at Pushpa 2 premiere at Sandhya theatre. Now, Arjun's father and veteran producer Allu Aravind has finally broken his silence on the whole incident while interacting with the press outside their Jubilee Hills home.

Allu Aravind told the media, "Everyone has seen what happened at our house today. But it is time for us to act accordingly. Now is not the right time for us to react to anything. I will not react just because the media is here. Now is the time to practice restraint. The law will take its own course."

Talking about the action police has taken against the protesters, the producer added, "The police have taken in the offenders and filed a case against them. The police are ready to take away anyone else who comes here to create a ruckus. No one should encourage incidents like these."

A 35-year-old woman died and her eight-year-old son was injured on December 4 during a stampede at the cinema hall in Hyderabad when thousands of fans jostled to have a glimpse of Arjun at the premiere of Pushpa 2. Following the incident, the actor was arrested by the city police on December 13. The Telangana High Court granted him a four-week interim bail on the same day and Arjun was released from the prison on December 14 morning.

On Saturday, Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy alleged that Arjun visited the theatre during the film's screening despite police permission being denied, a charge that the actor denied. Hours after Reddy slammed Arjun, the latter refuted the allegations saying, it was not true, and in fact, the police were clearing the way for him and he reached the venue under their directions.
