Hyderabad: Nampally court on Friday, January 3 granted bail to Telugu film actor Allu Arjun in connection with the Sandhya theatre stampede case.

On December 13, the Telangana High Court granted interim bail to Allu Arjun for four weeks and directed him to approach the trial court for regular bail.

After considering the arguments, the Nampally court decided to deliver its verdict on January 3. The petition was heard on December 27, and the court adjourned the hearing to December 30 after the police requested additional time to file their counter to the bail petition.
