Amid the row over the death of a woman in a stampede during the premiere of ‘Pushpa 2′ at the Sandhya Theater in Hyderabad, a fresh trouble has emerged for Telugu superstar Allu Arjun. The Hyderabad Police have issued a fresh notice to the actor on Monday in connection with the case. The notice summons Allu Arjun to appear for questioning tomorrow at 11 am in connection with the incident.
On Monday, a Hyderabad court granted bail to six people, who were arrested for allegedly vandalising the residence of the Telugu actor even as the police beefed up security at the actor’s house, a day after the incident.

The incident also led to a fierce political slugfest with the BJP joining the BRS in attacking the Congress government, saying some of the attackers belonged to the Kodangal assembly constituency of Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy.
Six people, claiming to be members of Osmania University – Joint Action Committee (OU-JAC) damaged flower pots and threw tomatoes at Arjun’s residence on Sunday evening. They were arrested by police and produced before a local court which granted them bail on Monday.
The controversy stems from an incident on December 4, when Allu Arjun attended the premiere of Pushpa 2: The Rule at the Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad. A massive crowd gathered to catch a glimpse of the actor, and chaos ensued when he waved to fans from the sunroof of his car. This led to the tragic death of a woman named Revathi and injuries to her child. Following the incident, Allu Arjun was arrested and later released on bail after furnishing a ₹50,000 bond.
On Sunday, Reddy had condemned the attack and directed the state DGP and the city police commissioner to be tough in maintaining law and order.
Meanwhile, the producers of ‘Pushpa-2’ on Monday extended a financial assistance of Rs 50 lakh to the family of the woman who died in a stampede during the screening of the film on December 4. Naveen Yerneni, the producer, visited the hospital where the victim’s eight-year-old son was undergoing treatment and handed over a cheque to the family. According to the hospital, the boy is presently maintaining stable vital parameters and continues to be off oxygen and Ventilator, while his neurological status remains the same, as reported by news agency PTI.
