After Allu Arjun's Arrest, Letter Contradicts Cops' "No Information" Claim
NDTV
The letter from the management of the Sandhya Theatre to the police was purportedly written on December 2, two days before the stampede.
Hours after Allu Arjun's arrest in connection with the stampede outside a Hyderabad theatre where the premiere of his movie 'Pushpa 2: The Rule' was being held, a letter purportedly written by the management of the cinema hall has emerged which counters a key claim made by the police.
When Mr Arjun and others were named in a case in connection with the December 4 stampede, in which a woman had died and a child was injured, the Hyderabad police had said neither the actor's team nor the management of Sandhya Theatre had informed them that he would be attending the premiere. They said his appearance led to a crowd surge, which caused the stampede.
A letter from the management of the Sandhya Theatre to the police written on December 2, however, categorically states that Mr Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna - his co-star in the movie - and others would be attending the premiere and requests that adequate security arrangements be made.
