Telangana Court grants bail to Allu Arjun in Pushpa 2 stampede case

Actor Allu Arjun was released on bail by the Telangana court as he is associated with a stampede that occurred during an event held for the launching of his movie Pushpa 2: The Rule. Some people got injured during the fan show of the movie which was conducted in Hyderabad, and this has given rise to many debates over the crowd management and crowd safety of prominent events.Charges were laid upon Allu Arjun as he was present at the function; he also promoted the function and made it more chaos within the venue. His lawyers argued that nothing wrong was with him because organisational mistakes were in the course of the event which led to the stampede but those who made the mistakes are the local authority and organizers themselves who did not prepare adequate crowd management mechanism. While delivering the judgment on the bail, the court observed that little or no direct evidence could be traced to prove that the accident involved Allu Arjun, but while passing the order it further pointed out investigation to assess responsibility, so that professional engagement by the actor shall not be much disturbed. The stampede case has also brought to debate the liability of celebrities hosting public events and the need for proper safety measures. Allu Arjun also condoled with the injured fans and assured that he will support them to regain their health. This is an incident that reminds us of big public gatherings that have no room to be completely safe, and such incidents indicate there is collective responsibility of the event organizers, authorities, and those participating in such events.
