Telugu superstar Allu Arjun has received a summons from the Nampally Court in Hyderabad in connection with the Pushpa 2 fan death case.
The court directed him to appear in person on June 22 for a hearing related to the Sandhya Theatre stampede that claimed one life and injured several others.
Chikkadpally police named Allu Arjun as Accused No. 11 (A11) in the case, while the management of Sandhya Theatre has been listed as Accused Nos. 1 to 10 (A1–A10). The court also issued a summons to 19 other accused linked to the incident.
The tragedy occurred on December 4, 2024, during the premiere of Pushpa 2: The Rule at Sandhya Theatre. Thousands of fans gathered to catch a glimpse of the actor, leading to overcrowding and chaos. Amid the rush, a 35-year-old woman named Revathi died of suffocation, and her son sustained serious injuries.
Police alleged that neither the theatre management nor the actor’s team informed authorities about his visit in advance. Hyderabad Police registered a case under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), citing negligence and inadequate crowd control.
Allu Arjun was arrested on December 13, 2024, but secured interim bail the same day. He later expressed grief over Revathi’s death and announced financial assistance for her family.
The actor, now named in the chargesheet, faces renewed scrutiny as the case moves forward.
