<p>Fans, well-wishers and family members of actor Allu Arjun gathered outside Chikkadpally police hours after the actor was detained after questioning in connection with a stampede during the premiere of his movie<em> Pushpa 2</em> at Sandhya theatre in Hyderabad on December 4. The incident led to the death of a woman and left her son seriously injured. On Friday, after the actor’s arrest, political parties leaders from BJP and BRS came in support of him. </p>
<p>The Opposition slammed the Congress-led Telangana government for detaining Allu Arjun and argued that he was unfairly held accountable for the stampede.</p>
<p>BRS Party Working President KT Rama Rao tweeted, “Arrest of National Award winning star Allu Arjun is the pinnacle of insecurity of the rulers. I totally sympathize with the victims of the stampede but who failed really? Treating Allu Arjun Garu as a common criminal is uncalled for especially for something he isn’t directly responsible.”</p>

<p>BJP Floor Leader and Goshamahal MLA Raja Singh said, “The tragic stampede incident is a glaring failure of the police department, not the fault of National Award-winning star @alluarjun, who has brought immense pride to the Telugu states with his accolades and achievements.”</p>
<p>”Holding him accountable for something he isn’t directly responsible for is both unjust and unwarranted. Instead of addressing the systemic issues and lapses in crowd management, targeting a celebrated icon reflects poorly on the administration. The Congress government must introspect and ensure accountability lies where it truly belongs – with those responsible for maintaining public safety,” he said. </p>

<p>Minister of State Bandi Sanjay Kumar said, “National Award-winning actor Allu Arjun, lifted straight from his bedroom without even being given time to change, is a disgraceful act of mismanagement and disrespect. A star of his stature, who brought global recognition to Indian cinema, deserved better treatment. The tragic death of a woman in the stampede at Sandhya theatre is deeply unfortunate, but it only underscores the Congress government’s failure to manage the massive crowd.”</p>
<p>He also alleged that the real failure was the Congress government’s inability to ensure proper arrangements for such a high-profile event.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, a police vehicle with Allu Arjun arrived at Nampally court.</p>
