The Nampally Court has adjourned the hearing in the Sandhya Theatre stampede case, linked to the premiere of 'Pushpa 2: The Rule' in Hyderabad, until July 6. Actor Allu Arjun, who was directed to appear in person, attended the proceedings virtually after obtaining the necessary court permission. The adjournment was due to the absence of some accused individuals named in the chargesheet.
Allu Arjun's Virtual Court Appearance Actor Allu Arjun, listed as Accused No. 11 (A11) in the case, made a virtual appearance before the Nampally Court. His legal team confirmed that the actor sought permission for video conferencing, citing his ongoing film shoot in Mumbai. This arrangement allowed him to participate in the legal process without disrupting his professional commitments.
Reasons for Hearing Adjournment to July 6 Advocate Bhanu Chander, representing the Sandhya Theatre management, informed the media that the hearing could not proceed as scheduled because not all 23 accused individuals named in the chargesheet were present. While 21 or 22 members appeared, the absence of a few necessitated the deferral. The court has now posted the matter for July 6, requiring all 23 accused to appear together for the next steps, including the registration of the SC sessions case.
Background of the Sandhya Theatre Stampede The case originated from a tragic incident on December 4, 2024, during a special screening of 'Pushpa 2: The Rule' at Hyderabad's Sandhya Theatre. A large crowd had gathered to see Allu Arjun and the film's team. A subsequent stampede-like situation resulted in the death of 35-year-old Revathi and serious injuries to her eight-year-old son, Sritej. This unfortunate event led to the police filing charges against multiple individuals involved.
