The recent stampede incident involving Tollywood actor Allu Arjun has become a nationwide topic of debate. Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy addressed the matter in the state assembly, alleging that negligence on Allu Arjun’s part led to the tragic loss of a life.
During his visit to Davos, CM Revanth Reddy responded to questions from an international media representative about the incident. When asked if Allu Arjun could be held directly responsible, the Chief Minister outlined the sequence of events, stating that two days before the theater visit, police had denied permission for the event. Despite this, the actor proceeded with his visit, which drew massive crowds. The resulting chaos allegedly prompted the actor’s security personnel to push back the crowd, leading to a stampede that caused one fatality.
