Pushpa 2 Stampede Case: A case was registered against the producers after a woman died in a stampede during the premiere of 'Pushpa 2: The Rule' at Sandhya Theater in Hyderabad. In this case, the film's producers Yelamanchili Ravishankar and Naveen Yerneni have got relief from the High Court.
The film 'Pushpa 2: The Rule' is doing great business at the box office. However, after its release, a controversy also occurred on the occasion of the release. During the premiere of the movie, a stampede has taken place at Sandhya Theater in which one woman died.
A case was registered against the film's lead actor Allu Arjun and the producers, Yelamanchili Ravishankar and Naveen Yerneni, after the incident happened. The police said adequate security arrangements were not made during the premiere due to which a stampede occurred and a woman died.
However, the producers had filed a petition in the High Court clarifying their position. They said that they were not responsible for the security arrangements of the theatre. They informed in this petition that the police were informed about this event before the premiere. After this, the police deployed security forces at the spot, but despite this, the incident happened. The producers also raised the question that if all the necessary security measures were taken then why are they being accused?
Hearing on this, the High Court today, i.e. January 2 gave relief to the producers in this case. The court banned the arrest of the producers amid the ongoing hearing against them. The court directed the police to file a counter affidavit in this case. The court also said that the next hearing of this case will be held after two weeks so that further action can be taken on it.
