Three arrested after fatal incident at Pushpa 2 premiere

• Hyderabad police arrested three individuals on Sunday.
• A woman had tragically died at the premiere of Pushpa 2.
• A case has been registered against Arjun as well.

Hyderabad police arrested three individuals on Sunday, December 8, in connection with the tragic death of a fan at the premiere of Pushpa 2: The Rule at Sandhya Theatre.

Those arrested include theatre owner M Sandeep, manager M Nagaraju, and security head Gandhakam Vijay Chander. They face charges under Sections 105, 118(1), and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).

The incident occurred on December 4 during the premiere at RTC X Roads, attended by lead actor Allu Arjun, co-star Rashmika Mandanna, and Arjun’s wife, Allu Sneha Reddy.

A sudden surge of fans trying to catch a glimpse of Arjun created a stampede-like situation, leading to the death of 35-year-old Revathi. Both Revathi and her son fell unconscious, with police administering CPR before rushing them to the hospital. Revathi succumbed to her injuries, while her son remains hospitalized in critical condition.

A case has been registered against Arjun, his security team, and the theatre management based on a complaint from Revathi’s family.

Addressing the tragedy, Arjun apologized during a press meet and offered ₹25 lakh compensation to Revathi’s family. “The money I’ve given is only a gesture to show we’re there for them,” he said. “I’ll meet them once they recover and help in any way I can.” He also assured coverage of the boy’s medical expenses.
