Hyderabad: The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has reportedly issued notice to the Hyderabad Police seeking a detailed report on the December 4, 2024 stampede at Sandhya Theatre during the screening of actor Allu Arjun’s film Pushpa 2, within six weeks.
Earlier, it had issued notice to Director General of Police and the Commissioner of Police in Hyderabad, seeking a detailed action taken report (ATR) on the stampede at Sandhya Theatre that claimed the life of a woman Revathi and injuries to her seven-year-old son Sritej.
The Commission has set a four-week deadline for the report, acting on a complaint filed by advocate Rama Rao Immaneni.
However, the Commission was reportedly not satisfied with the report submitted by the Hyderabad Police as it did not contain necessary details.
It has commented that no steps were taken by the police to prevent the mishap and the report earlier submitted was not satisfactory. It questioned how Allu Arjun conducted a road show despite permission denied by the police on that day.
