Actor Allu Arjun was interrogated by the police for more than three-and-a-half hours on Tuesday over the stampede at Sandhya Theatre that claimed the life of a woman and left her eight-year-old son critically injured. Meanwhile, the police arrested his bouncer Antony in connection with the mishap.

The Pushpa actor reached the Chikkadpally police station at around 11:05 am and was let off around 2:45 pm after his statement was recorded by the police. His advocate was present during the interrogation. His father and father-in-law accompanied the actor to the police station.

During the interrogation, Allu Arjun was reportedly asked who decided to go ahead with the plan to watch the film at Sandhya Theatres despite the denial of permission for the same by the police. When he was informed about the death in the stampede?
