Hyderabad Police have already posted a ten-minute-long video depicting the sequence of events leading to the stampede, which resulted in the death of a woman, Revathi, while leaving her nine-year-old son in critical condition in the hospital.

Meanwhile, Allu Aravind, the actor's father, announced that they would be giving Revathi's family Rs 2 crore, including Rs 1 crore from Arjun and Rs 50 lakh each from the producer and director of the film, Pushpa.

Social media was flooded by posts on Wednesday claiming that CCTV footage from Sandhya Theatre showed that Revathi had died before the actor arrived at the scene at 9:40 pm. This prompted the city police to issue a stern warning to such accounts.
