Hyderabad: Telugu actor Allu Arjun appeared before Chikkadpally police on Tuesday for questioning in connection with the ongoing investigation into the stampede that occurred during the screening of 'Pushpa-2' on December 4.

The actor was summoned to report at 11 am today, and security was heightened around his residence. As he left for the police station, he greeted fans along the way. Allu Arjun had earlier assured his cooperation with the investigation.
