Allu Arjun moves HC for relief in Sandhya Theatre stampede death case

ACTOR Allu Arjun has filed a petition in the Telangana High Court seeking stay on all further proceedings, including his arrest, in connection with FIR No 376 filed by the Chikkadpally police following the death of 39-year-old M Revathi at the Sandhya Theatre during the screening of the premiere show of Pushpa-2: The Rule.

The petition said that the allegations against the actor lack factual basis and were designed to misuse the judicial process, thereby warranting intervention by the High Court under Section 528 of BNSS being verbatim reproduction of Section 482 of CrPC.

"The principles laid out in the Bhajan Lal case emphasise that such proceedings should be quashed when initiated with malicious intent, as is evident in the present matter," the petition read.
