Allu Arjun arrest: DCP clarifies on Sandhya theatre management letter
The DCP said the Allu Arjun's team was intimated to take him back citing large public gathering but they did not act and the actor was there inside the theatre for more than two hours
Hyderabad: Clarifying on the letter of Sandhya Theatre management to the police seeking bandobast for the Pushpa-2 event being circulated on social media, Central Zone DCP Akshansh Yadav said the organiser had not met any officer but simply submitted the letter in the inward section.
“No details were made available to the police despite this we arranged suitable bandobast for crowd management outside the theatre. The crowd was well in control till the actor arrived. The actor, who arrived at the theatre, came out from the sun roof of his vehicle and started waving to the public gathered there. This gesture attracted a lot of public towards the theatre main gate,” Akshansh Yadav said.
At the same time his private security started pushing people to make way for his vehicle.
The DCP further said the actor’s team was intimated to take him back citing large public gathering but they did not act and Allu Arjun was there inside the theatre for more than two hours. Therefore, it is clear that adequate police bandobust was in place, it was his actions which led to this unfortunate incident.
The officer reiterated that the police receive a lot of requests for bandobast citing visits by some political personalities, film celebrities, religious programs etc., however it was beyond their resources to provide bandobast for every event.
Cops did not misbehave with actor:
Meanwhile, responding to the criticism from various sections of the society about the police personnel misbehaving with Allu Arjun at the time of his arrest, the DCP said it was not true.
“When police reached his residence, he requested some time to change his clothes. He went inside his bedroom, police personnel waited outside and took him into custody when he came out. There was no use of force or any misbehavior with him by any police personnel. He was given enough time to interact with his family and wife. He himself came out and entered the police vehicle,” the DCP clarified.
