The stampede that occurred at Sandhya Theater during the release of Pushpa 2 has sparked widespread debate. After Allu Arjun was briefly linked to the incident, many celebrities, including comedian Rahul Ramakrishna, expressed their support for him. Rahul had initially criticized the police’s handling of the situation but has since retracted his comments.
Following a video release from City Police Commissioner CV Anand, which clarified the facts, Rahul acknowledged that he had not been fully informed at the time of his remarks. In a new statement, Rahul said, “I wasn’t properly informed about the incident that day. I am taking back the comments I made.” His change of heart was met with positive feedback from fans, with one netizen praising his honesty: “Your attitude is very good, Anna. Standing up for the truth is more important than anything else. You are at the forefront in such matters. I am proud to see you.” Rahul appreciated the comment, thanking the netizen for their support.
In his original post, Rahul had questioned the accountability of a single person for the tragedy and emphasized the police’s responsibility in managing the crowd at such events. He also highlighted the lack of proper precautions given the celebrity presence and raised concerns about how similar situations are handled in religious or political gatherings. Rahul also stressed that while nothing could bring back the victim’s loss, the family deserved proper compensation.
