Hyderabad Tragedy: Victim’s Husband Defends Allu Arjun Amid Stampede Controversy
The much-anticipated premiere of Pushpa 2 took a tragic turn when a stampede at Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad claimed the life of Revathi and left several injured. As fans gathered to catch a glimpse of their beloved actor Allu Arjun, chaos ensued, culminating in the actor’s detention by Chikadpally police. However, in a surprising turn of events, Revathi’s husband, Magudampalli Bhaskar, has come forward, ready to withdraw the complaint against Allu Arjun, demanding his release.
A Family’s Heartbreaking Loss
The stampede left Magudampalli Bhaskar grappling with the sudden loss of his wife and his eight-year-old son battling severe injuries. Bhaskar, overwhelmed by grief and the weight of ongoing medical responsibilities, clarified his stance, stating:
> “Allu Arjun coming there is not his fault… he is not connected to this case. If anything, I’m ready to withdraw the complaint.”
Bhaskar, who was initially unaware of Allu Arjun’s detention, shared that his focus remains on his son’s recovery and the family’s ability to process this tragic incident.
The Incident and FIR Details
The First Information Report (FIR) filed earlier alleged that the stampede was caused by mismanagement at the Sandhya Theatre and Allu Arjun’s arrival with his personal security team, which reportedly triggered the crowd surge.
The FIR highlighted:
> “The reason for the incident is because of Sandhya 70 MM theatre management and the staff. The crowd pushed and surged forward because of the actor Allu Arjun and his personal security staff.”
As the police proceeded with their investigation, the emotional plea from Bhaskar added a significant twist to the unfolding narrative.
A Community’s Grief and Priorities
Bhaskar’s family, torn between mourning and tending to their injured child, emphasized the need for time and privacy. The child’s paternal uncle explained:
> “We need time to process everything that is happening in this case. Our priority right now is for our child’s health to get better.”
Despite the controversy surrounding the incident, the family’s immediate concern remains the well-being of their child and healing from this devastating loss.
What’s Next for Allu Arjun?
Allu Arjun, who has millions of fans nationwide, was detained earlier in connection with the incident. The actor’s fans and supporters have rallied for his release, citing Bhaskar’s statement as evidence of his innocence.
As the investigation unfolds, questions about crowd control, safety protocols at public events, and the responsibilities of organizers come to the forefront.
