Hearing on Allu Arjun’s bail plea
New Delhi:
Nampally Court will give its verdict on January 3 on the regular bail plea of actor Allu Arjun in the stampede case at Sandhya Theater in Hyderabad, the capital of Telangana. On Monday, the court heard the arguments of the petitioner and the counter arguments filed by the police. After hearing both the sides, the court reserved its decision. The court heard the petition on 27 December. Since the police had sought time to file counter arguments on the bail petition. Therefore the court had adjourned the hearing till December 30.
On December 13, while granting interim bail for four weeks, the High Court had asked Allu Arjun to approach the trial court for regular bail. Allu Arjun was arrested on December 13 in a case registered in connection with the stampede that took place during the premiere show of ‘Pushpa 2: The Rule’ at Sandhya Theater on December 4, in which a woman was killed. The actor was produced in Nampally Court, from where he was sent to judicial custody for 14 days.
His lawyers appealed to the High Court from where he was granted interim bail on the same day. The actor, named as accused number 11 in the case, was released from Chanchalguda jail the next day. Since the 14-day judicial custody period had ended on December 27, the actor had to appear in the court further. After getting permission from the court, the actor appeared through video conferencing.
The next day after the stampede, the police registered a case of culpable homicide against the theater management, Allu Arjun and his team. The police interrogated Allu Arjun on 24 December as part of the investigation. After collecting CCTV footage of the incident, the police interrogated him for more than three hours at Chikkadpally police station on the basis of a prepared 10-minute video.
