Telugu Superstar Allu Arjun was released on Saturday morning from the jail. On Friday, he was arrested over a stampede at Pushpa 2 screening in Hyderabad in which a woman died on December 4. The stampede killed a woman who was later identified as Revathi while her eight-year-old was also critically injured at Hyderabad's Sandhya Theatre during the premiere of Pushpa 2. The son remained in critical condition and was undergoing treatment at a private hospital.

After the arrest, Allu Arjun was produced in a local court which remanded him to 14 days' judicial custody. However, his lawyers moved the HC and secured interim bail. Despite the Telangana High Court granting him bail, Arjun had to spend Friday night in Chanchalguda prison as the authorities had not received a copy of the bail order until late last night.

What did Allu Arjun say?

Thaking his followers, Arjun after his release said, "…We are extremely sorry for the family. I will personally be there to help them in whatever way possible. I was inside the theatre watching a movie with my family and the accident happened outside. It has no direct connection with me. It was purely accidental and unintentional... I have been going to the same theatre for the last 20 years, and I have been to the same place more than 30 times. There has never been an accident like this before. I should reserve my comments because I don’t want to say anything that will tamper the case."

“I’ll cooperate with them and I’ll do the needful. And very importantly, I would like to give my condolences once again to the family. It ( death of a woman) is very very unfortunate,” he told the media, as per PTI.

“When the law is taking its course, I should not deal with the case, so I should not talk about it. From a legal standpoint, I would not like to talk about it,” he said.

Meanwhile, the husband of the deceased woman has said that he is willing to withdraw the case and he does not hold Allu Arjun responsible for the stampede or his wife's death. Speaking with reporters hours after Arjun's arrest, Bhaskar, the husband of Revathi, said, "We only went to Sandhya Theatre that day because my son wanted to watch the movie. It's not Allu Arjun's fault that he visited the theatre that day. I am ready to withdraw my case. Police didn't inform me of his arrest, I watched it on the news at the hospital. He (Arjun) has nothing to do with stampede."
