Allu Arjun’s ‘Pushpa 2’ has been in trouble as it caused a huge stampede during its premiere show, which led to a 39-year old woman passing away. Her 8-year old son was injured and hospitalised. The victim’s husband had filed an FIR due to which the police arrested Allu Arjun on Friday night. He was released on interim bail on Saturday morning. Now as per the latest report, the 8-year old boy who was injured is on ventilator, as confirmed by the hospital.
The hospital released a statement which was quoted by The Hindu, which read, “The boy continues to be in the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) on ventilator support with minimal requirements. He is hemodynamically stable and tolerating tube feedings. However, he has intermittent fever, remains in an altered sensorium, and exhibits dystonic movements.”
This boy’s name is Sri Teja who was critically injured and is undergoing treatment at KIMS Cuddles Hospital in Hyderabad. The stampede led to the death of his mother while Sri Teja was hospitalised due to asphyxiations.
Both Allu Arjun and Pushpa 2 director Sukumar apologised to the victim’s family. Arjun donated ₹25 lakh to the victim’s family. The investigation on the matter will continue after Arjun has been granted interim bail. Meanwhile, the husband of the victim who passed away told the media that he’s ready to withdraw the case.
