Congress Denies Allegations of Involvement in Attack on Allu Arjun’s House Over Hyderabad Stampede

 GG News Bureau
Hyderabad, 23^rd Dec. The Congress party today rejected reports suggesting its involvement in the recent attack on actor Allu Arjun’s residence in Hyderabad, following a stampede incident during the screening of his film Pushpa 2. The attack on Sunday evening, which saw protesters allegedly claiming to be students from Osmania University, led to significant damage at the actor’s house, with flower pots broken and tomatoes thrown.

The protesters were demanding justice for the woman who tragically lost her life during the stampede at a local theatre on December 4. They also called for a ₹1 crore compensation to her family. Congress spokesperson Sama Ram Mohan Reddy responded to the allegations, categorically stating, “None of them belong to Congress. If any link to our party is found, the individuals involved will be disqualified.”

The incident prompted a swift response from Telangana’s Congress Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, who condemned the attack and urged the police to enforce stricter law and order measures. He also directed the state police chief and the city police commissioner to ensure that such incidents do not repeat.

Earlier, Reddy had made remarks regarding Allu Arjun’s actions during the Pushpa 2 premiere, accusing the actor of defying police instructions and causing the crowd to spiral out of control, leading to the stampede. According to Reddy, Arjun’s actions of waving to fans from his car sunroof contributed to the chaotic situation, which ultimately led to the tragic incident.

However, Allu Arjun denied these allegations, stating that he had complied with police instructions and that there had been no roadshow as claimed. The actor clarified, “I was following the police’s guidance and there was no procession. It was simply a crowd a few meters from the theatre.”

Following the stampede, in which a woman died and her young son was critically injured, the police arrested several individuals, including theatre staff and the actor’s security team. Allu Arjun himself was briefly detained but later released.

As the investigation into the incident continues, the political and public discourse surrounding the events remains heated, with both the Congress party and Allu Arjun distancing themselves from any blame.
