Allu Arjun was arrested this afternoon in connection with the death of a 35-year-old woman, Revathi, who died during a stampede at Sandhya Theatre on December 4, during the premiere show of his much-awaited film Pushpa 2: The Rule. A recent update states that Allu Arjun will be in police custody for 14 days. Meanwhile, the victim`s husband has released a statement saying he was unaware of the Pushpa star`s arrest and is ready to withdraw the case, as he believes Arjun has nothing to do with his wife`s death.

Several news reports have stated that the Telangana High Court has placed Allu Arjun in 14-day judicial custody. Following this development, Allu Arjun`s lawyers are planning to appeal against the action and move to a higher court. A video of Bhaskar, the victim`s husband, discussing Allu Arjun`s arrest has surfaced, where he said, "Allu Arjun has nothing to do with the stampede in which my wife passed away."
