What High Court said

Allu Arjun was arrested on Friday on the complaint of the husband of a woman who died in a stampede at the premiere of Pushpa 2: The Rule at Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad. A large crowd had gathered to watch the actor there who was attending the premiere last week. Arjun had filed a plea to quash the FIR against him in High Court even before the arrest. The Telangana HC granted him interim bail. Bar and Bench quoted the judge as saying, "Is he responsible for the tragedy that happened? What knowledge he have? He has taken permission. Whether a person is responsible for the incident - can he even undergo just for a day also, (just because) he is an actor? Because he is an actor, he cannot be deprived of his rights. As a citizen of this earth, he too has the right to life and liberty. We will grant interim bail for a certain period, and let them avail appropriate remedies meanwhile."

Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2 co-star Rashmika Mandanna also backed Allu Arjun and penned a note after his arrest. The actor wrote on Instagram, "I can't believe what I am seeing right now...The incident that happened was an unfortunate and deeply saddening incident. However, it is disheartening to see everything being blamed on a single individual. This situation is both unbelievable and heartbreaking."
