Hyderabad: Actor Allu Arjun was questioned for two hours on Tuesday at the Chikkadpally Police Station in connection with the Sandhya Theatre stampede incident. The police posed over 50 critical questions during the interrogation, which reportedly left the actor uneasy at times.
One of the key inquiries was whether Arjun knew about the death of Revathi beforehand or learned of it the next day. The actor initially remained silent but later clarified that he was informed about her demise the following day. When asked whether the Commissioner of Police (CP) or Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) met him at the auditorium, Allu Arjun denied such interactions, alleging that the media was spreading false information about him.

During the interrogation, Central Zone DCP Akanksha Yadav, in the presence of ACP Ramesh and Inspector Rajunaik, showed the actor a 10-minute video related to the stampede. Arjun reportedly appeared distressed while reviewing the footage. While he provided answers to several questions, police officials noted that he refrained from responding to some critical queries.
The actor arrived at the police station at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, following a notice issued by the police on Monday directing him to appear by 11:00 a.m. Allu Arjun was accompanied by his father and producer Allu Aravind, uncle Chandrasekhar Reddy, and Bunny Vasu.
The stampede at Sandhya Theatre resulted in casualties and injuries, prompting a detailed investigation by the police. Further developments in the case are awaited.
