Icon star Allu Arjun was arrested on Friday from his Hyderabad home and charged with culpable homicide not amounting to murder following the death of a 39-year-old mother of two in the December 4 stampede at a theatre screening of his film `Pushpa 2: The Rule.` The Telangana High Court granted him interim bail. Speaking to the media outside his residence, Allu Arjun expressed that he is a law-abiding citizen who will comply with judicial processes. He called the tragic incident unfortunate, noting that he had been attending Sandhya Theatre for the last 20 years to watch his and his uncle Megastar Chiranjeevi`s films without witnessing anything like this. The `Pushpa 2` star also stated that he would offer his full support to the victim’s family.
