The Hyderabad police have granted Allu Arjun conditional permission to visit the boy at KIMS Hospital, provided the visit remains confidential and is not publicized.

Hyderabad: The Hyderabad police issued a notice to Tollywood star Allu Arjun regarding his plan to visit nine-year-old Sritej, who is critically injured following the Sandhya Theatre stampede on December 4.

The police granted Allu Arjun conditional permission to visit the boy at KIMS Hospital in Hyderabad, stipulating that the visit must remain confidential and not be publicized. The notice emphasized the need for his cooperation, requiring prior notification to authorities for proper arrangements.

The notice stated, “If the public suffers due to your lack of proper cooperation and any unexpected incidents happen, you will be responsible for it.” The Hyderabad police, on January 5, advised Allu Arjun to avoid the hospital visit to maintain public order and safety.

The notice, delivered to Allu Arjun’s manager, Murthy, highlighted concerns over potential disturbances and recommended that the actor reconsider his visit to Sritej.

Court Grants Conditional Bail to Allu Arjun
The Nampally court granted conditional bail to Allu Arjun on January 3 in connection with the Sandhya Theatre stampede case. Earlier, the Telangana High Court had granted him interim bail for four weeks on December 13, directing him to approach the trial court for regular bail.

Allu Arjun’s legal counsel, Advocate Niranjan Reddy, argued that the charges of culpable homicide did not apply as the actor was not directly involved in the stampede. The court, after reviewing the arguments and awaiting the police counter, delivered its verdict on January 3.

Pushpa 2 Stampede Incident
The stampede during the *Pushpa 2* promotional event at Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad on December 4 claimed the life of a 35-year-old woman, while her nine-year-old son, Sritej, sustained critical injuries.
