On December 27, the actor’s judicial custody came to an end following which Allu Arjun made a virtual appearance in court. However, the court didn’t announce any decision. Subsequently, the court pushed the next hearing to December 30th, which has now been  postponed to January 3, 2025. Following the end of judicial custody, Allu Arjun requested regular bail. The Nampally Court, in turn, directed the police to file a counter-affidavit in response. Both the police and Allu Arjun’s legal team presented their arguments in the court, which witnessed a key hearing today.

Meanwhile, the actor faced heavy questioning by the Hyderabad police recently in connection to the case. The police maintain that they asked Allu Arjun to leave the theatre on December 4 but he refused to leave, causing a stampede. The actor has not reacted to this claim yet. Following the arrest and follow-up events, the issue also stirred political intervention. In his previous address, Telangana CM, Revanth Reddy lashed out at the actor over the ‘Pushpa 2’ stampede case.
