BRS leader KT Rama Rao slammed Telangana’s ruling Congress Friday over the arrest of actor Allu Arjun, labelling it “the pinnacle of insecurity of the rulers!” “Treating Allu Arjun garu as a common criminal is uncalled for especially for something he isn’t directly responsible,” KTR posted on X.
Hours earlier Allu Arjun was arrested in connection with the stampede outside a Hyderabad theatre – it was showing his film ‘Pushpa 2: The Rule‘ – last week in which one woman was killed. He was taken from his home in the Jubilee Hills area to the Chikkadpally Police Station for further questioning.
And shortly after that Mr Arjun filed a petition seeking to delay his arrest till Monday.
