Revathi, an Allu Arjun fan and her nine year old son had gone to watch Pushpa 2
Just hours after a district court sentenced actor Allu Arjun to 14 days of judicial jail for a stampede incident at Sandhya Theatre during the Pushpa-2 premiere, the Telangana High Court granted him four weeks of interim bail on Friday.
On January 21, 2025, the case involving Allu Arjun will be heard once more. It is “apparent that there is no malafide action associated with the petitioner,” the Telangana HC stated, adding that “right to life and liberty can’t be taken away just because he is an actor.”
Who is Revathi who died during Pushpa 2’s screening in Sandhya Theatre, Hyderabad as Allu Arjun is granted bail in her death case, death reason, biography, age and husband
Revathi, a 35-year-old lady, was killed in the rush on December 4 during a Pushpa 2 show which stars actor Allu Arjun. Treatment for her nine year old son is still ongoing who was severely injured.
Revathi’s husband Bhaskar has now come out claiming that he wasn’t aware that the actor had been arrested and was willing to withdraw the case against Allu Arjun, adding that he wasn’t responsible for his wife’s death. Allu had previously given Rs.25 lakhs to Revathi’s family after her demise.
The FIR was filed by the family of the deceased woman, Revathi, alleging negligence on the part of the event organizers and Arjun with her dying in the ground floor stampede in the theatre. Revathi succumbed to injuries from the commotion after being taken to Durgabai Deshmukh Hospital as she was caught in the middle of the stampede.
Telugu superstar Allu Arjun has now been granted interim bail by the Telangana High Court following his arrest by police on Friday in connection with the stampede at Hyderabad’s Sandhya Theatre during the premiere of Pushpa 2. Arjun had moved the Telangana HC after being arrested and sent to judicial remand for 14 days.
Hyderabad police have also detained three individuals linked to the theatre’s management and those arrested include M. Sandeep, owner of Sandhya Theatre; M. Nagaraju, a senior manager; and Gandhakam Vijay Chander, who was overseeing security during the event and they face charges under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, including Section 105 (right of private defence of property), Section 118(1).

Allu Arjun’s family was present when a police squad led by the assistant commissioner showed up at his house earlier in the day to take him into jail.
Before taking him to the police station, the authorities escorted him to their car. The event happened on December 4 when Allu Arjun and his security guards showed up at the theatre, causing an uncontrollable crowd to try to enter the building, which led to a stampede.
Lathi charge was allegedly caused by inadequate crowd control, which resulted in the stampede.

“The theatre management did not make any additional provisions regarding security to manage the crowd nor was there any separate entry or exit for the actor’s team though the theatre management had information about their arrival,” the police had said.
Three people, including the theatre’s co-partner, had already been taken into custody by the authorities in relation to this occurrence. Based on the complaint filed by the family of the deceased woman, the police at the Chikkadpally police station filed a case against Allu Arjun, his security team, and the theatre management under sections 105 and 118 of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
The husband of the victim, Revathi, who had initiated the lawsuit, also stated that he is ready to withdraw his compaint. Allu Arjun was taken to the Chanchalguda Jail after the official arrest.
