Allu Arjun Granted Bail in Stampede Case
As reported by Indian media, Telugu film star Allu Arjun was granted bail in the ‘Pushpa 2’ premiere stampede case, by the Nampally Court, on Friday, his lawyer confirmed.
According to the details, the II Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge reserved the order, after hearing arguments from police and the actor’s lawyer, and directed Arjun to furnish two sureties, each of which shall execute INR50,000 bonds.
“Conditions have been imposed, and he has to attend the police station also. Not every day, every Sunday, but that is a normal condition for every accused,” said Arjun’s advocate Ashok Reddy, while speaking to the press after the verdict. “The court was convinced that this was not a case of culpable homicide not amounting to murder. Therefore, the court considered and granted bail.”
“We’ll take steps to pursue that quash petition in the High Court. We are hopeful about the proceedings; the next hearing there is on January 21,” added Reddy.
