It was quite a day for Telugu superstar and National Award-winning actor Allu Arjun on Friday. The day began with him getting detained by the Telangana police in connection to the death of a woman in a stampede at the `Pushpa 2` premiere on December 4. Soon after, a court passed a 14-day judicial custody of the actor to the police. However, by evening he was granted interim bail after an early hearing in court. During the interim bail hearing at the Telangana High Court, Allu Arjun`s counsel mentioned Shah Rukh Khan and his 2017 train incident in his argument.
In January 2017, as part of the promotions for his film Raees, superstar Shah Rukh Khan decided to travel by an express train. When the train reached Vadodara station, a crowd of over 1000 people arrived at the station causing a stampede. It led to the death of a man and leaving several injured. A complaint was filed against Khan, stating he was responsible for the stampede as he threw t-shirts and smiley balls at the crowd. The Gujarat High Court had quashed the complaint filed against Shah Rukh Khan for the stampede, which had killed one person and injured several others. The Supreme Court later upheld the High Court order.
