In a tragic turn of events, a stampede occurred at Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad during Pushpa 2: The Rule premiere on December 4, 2024. The devastating stampede resulted in the death of 32-year-old Revathi and left her nine-year-old son seriously injured. The incident shocked fans and the public, leading to widespread demands for accountability and justice.

How Did Pushpa 2 Premiere Event Lead to a Tragic Stampede?

The film’s lead actor, Allu Arjun, was present at the premiere with his private security team. Their unannounced appearance at the theatre created a frenzy among fans, who rushed to catch a glimpse of the star. Unfortunately, this influx in the crowd quickly escalated into a chaotic stampede.

The situation deteriorated when Allu Arjun’s security guards began pushing the crowd to create a path for the actor. The forceful action incited panic among the fans, who began pushing and shoving each other to avoid being trampled. Tragically, amid the chaos, Revathi became trapped in the crowd and suffocated.

What Is the Legal Action Taken Against Allu Arjun and His Security Team?

The police were called to manage the situation. A criminal case has been registered against Allu Arjun, his security team, and the theatre management. They are being charged under sections 105 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder) and 118 (1) (voluntarily causing hurt/grievous hurt by dangerous weapons or means) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).

Revathi’s nine-year-old son, who was also caught in the stampede, has been hospitalized with serious injuries. The severity of the incident has led to an outpouring of grief and outrage from the public. Many people are demanding stringent actions to prevent such tragedies in the future.
