As crowds became unmanageable outside the theatre, a woman died in the chaos and her child was critically injured. The boy is currently being treated in a hospital.

Allu Arjun is on his way to the police station for questioning in relation to the case.

The Telangana police issued a fresh notice to Allu Arjun demanding his appearance for questioning. The actor has pledged his support to the police and said he would be available whenever the police ask him. 

Meanwhile, the death of a woman has triggered a political and legal controversy. Earlier over the weekend, there were reports of people throwing stones and tomatoes at the residence of the Telugu star. Six people were taken into custody for the same and were released on bail later in the day. 

Also, the situation has taken a political turn, with opposition parties such as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) accusing the Congress-led government of mishandling the protests.
