Telugu superstar Allu Arun was released from jail on Saturday morning after getting a four-week interim bail. On Friday he was arrested earlier by the city police in connection with the death of a woman during the screening of his latest movie, Pushpa 2, last week.
The incident occurred on December 4 at Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad, where a crowd surge led to the death of a woman and the hospitalisation of her son. Fans had gathered at the theater to see Allu Arjun, and around 9:30 pm, the actor arrived. The crowd reportedly tried to enter with him, and his personal security team allegedly started pushing the public, which aggravated the situation. According to reports, the theater management failed to manage the crowd, with no separate arrangements for entry or exit for the actor라이브 바카라 team.

During the hearing, the bench orally remarked, "It's actually bothering me. Just because he is an actor, can he be held like this? There are no ingredients... On this earth, he has the right to life and liberty. It can't be taken away by virtue of being an actor," according to Live Law.
The High Court's decision to grant bail came shortly after a local court had remanded Arjun to judicial custody for 14 days. Amid tight security arrangements, he was sent to Chanchalguda Jail, but the HC pronounced the bail order as he was being taken to the jail.
The bail conditions include the execution of a personal bond of Rs 50,000, according to Bar & Bench. Arjun has been directed to cooperate fully with the investigation and avoid interfering with the judicial process or influencing witnesses. He must appear before the jail superintendent to execute the bond.
The deceased woman, M. Revathi, was a homemaker who had attended the premiere with her family as her son is a fan of Allu Arjun. Her husband, Bhaskar, has said he is willing to withdraw the case and does not hold Allu Arjun responsible for the stampede or his wife's death.
Speaking with reporters hours after Arjun's arrest, Bhaskar, the husband of Revathi, said, "We only went to Sandhya Theatre that day because my son wanted to watch the movie. It's not Allu Arjun's fault that he visited the theatre that day. I am ready to withdraw my case. Police didn't inform me of his arrest, I watched it on the news at the hospital. He (Arjun) has nothing to do with stampede."
