Film actor Allu Arjun walked out of the Chanchalguda Central Jail in Hyderabad this morning after spending the night there. The actor was arrested yesterday in connection with the stampede outside a theatre in Hyderabad during the premiere of his latest film, Pushpa 2 earlier this month, which claimed the life of a woman.

Later in the evening, the actor was granted interim bail for four weeks by the Telangana High Court.

Meanwhile, Information and Broadcasting Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw has said, the mishap at Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad during the premiere of film Pushpa 2, was a clear case of poor arrangements by the state and local administration.

In a social media post, Mr Vaishnaw said, Congress has no respect for the creative industry and the arrest of film actor Allu Arjun proves it yet again. He added that the Congress party is now indulging in publicity stunts to deflect the blame.

The Minister said, the Telangana Government should assist those affected and punish those who made the arrangements that day instead of attacking film personalities.
