Hyderabad: A group of miscreants attacked Allu Arjun’s residence on Sunday, December 22 by throwing tomatoes and damaging flower pots.
The group reportedly associated with the OU JAC created chaos while raising slogans demanding justice for Revathi’s family. They also intercepted Allu Arjun’s staff while continuing to throw tomatoes at the residence.
Unverified reports suggest that stones were also thrown during the attack.
The OU JAC demanded the actor pay a compensation of Rs. 1 crore to the family. The students, holding placards, squatted on the road in front of the gate.
On information, police rushed to the spot and whisked away the OUJAC members. Additional police personnel have been deployed to ensure there is no law and order breakdown.
The stampede on December 4 resulted in the death of 35-year-old Revathi, who was caught in the chaos outside the theatre. Sri Teja was hospitalised with critical injuries, leading to widespread public concern and media attention.
On Sunday, the Telangana director general of police (DGP) Dr Jitendra ensured that the security and safety of citizens is paramount.
The senior police officer said that the police department has nothing against the actor adding that the Hyderabad police took action against him as per law. “Public safety during a film promotion or an event needs to be checked. Promotion of a film is not as important as public safety. Everyone is responsible,” the DGP said.
