The truth behind the arrest reports has now been clarified. The actor’s team stated that he was called by the police to assist with the investigation. An official statement regarding the incident is still awaited.

For the unversed, the stampede broke out during Allu Arjun's unexpected visit to a theatre, leading to the tragic death of Revathi and critical injuries to her nine-year-old son.

The victim, Revathi, and her son experienced breathing difficulties amidst the chaos. Police officers pulled them from the crowd, administered emergency first aid, and rushed them to a nearby hospital. Tragically, Revathi did not survive.

Addressing the incident, Allu Arjun expressed his sorrow on social media, saying, "Deeply heartbroken by the tragic incident... My heartfelt condolences go out to the grieving family during this unimaginably difficult time. I want to assure them they are not alone in this pain and will meet the family personally."

He also announced assistance of Rs 25 lakhs to the woman’s family and committed to covering the medical expenses of the critically injured boy.
