Hyderabad: A court on Friday granted regular bail to Actor Allu Arjun, who is an accused in a case related to the death of a woman during a stampede at the premiere of his latest film, Pushpa-2.

The court had reserved the order on the actor's bail plea on December 30, 2024. The II Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge had deferred his verdict to January 3, 2025, after hearing the arguments from the police, which filed a counter-petition, and the actor's counsel. The actor filed a regular bail petition in court and appeared via video conference on December 27.

The incident occurred on December 4 at Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad, when a 35-year-old woman died and her 8-year-old son was injured in a stampede-like situation as fans crowded to catch a glimpse of the actor at the Pushpa-2 premiere.

Following the incident, the city police registered a case against Allu Arjun, his security team, and the theatre management under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) at the Chikkadpally Police Station based on a complaint lodged by the deceased woman's family.
