The court's ruling came after Allu Arjun 's lawyer argued that he had no direct involvement in the stampede incident and that the charges against him were unjustified.
Allu Arjun's lawyer stated,“The court was convinced that this was not a case of culpable homicide not amounting to murder.”
Following the stampede on December 4, which saw fans jostling for a glimpse of Allu Arju as he waved from his car's sunroof, police registered a case against him, his security team, and theatre management under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). However, it has been suggested that the police may have been scapegoating Allu Arjun to divert attention from their own lapses in ensuring crowd safety.
