The Nampally court on Friday, January 3, granted bail to 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. Advocate Niranjan Reddy representing Allu Arjun argued that the charges of culpable homicide should not apply as the actor was not directly involved in the stampede at Sandhya Theater on RTC X Roads.
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 Hyderabad police requested additional time to file their counter to the bail petition.
