‘Pushpa 2’ star Allu Arjun was arrested from his residence by the Hyderabad police in connection with the Sandhya Theatre stampede case following an FIR by the dead woman’s husband.
However, Telangana High Court granted interim bail to the actor and he was released from detention.
Allu then took to social media to express concern and commitment to meet the medical needs of the injured boy.
The actor also stated that he couldn’t meet the boy and his family because of legal restrictions.
