Child Injured in Pushpa 2 Stampede Declared Brain Dead

A tragic incident occurred on December 4, when an eight-year-old boy, Sri Tej, was injured in a stampede at Hyderabad's Sandhya theater during the premier show of Allu Arjun starrer Pushpa 2: The Rule. Unfortunately, the child has been declared brain dead due to a lack of oxygen supply. Telangana Health Secretary Dr. Christina informed the media that Sri Tej's health is being closely monitored, and doctors remain hopeful of a recovery.

The stampede occurred when Allu Arjun visited the theater, causing fans to go into a frenzy. In the chaos, Sri Tej's mother, Revathi, was injured and subsequently passed away. Following Revathi's demise, her husband Bhaskar complained to the Chikadapally police station, leading to the registration of an FIR. Allu Arjun was arrested by police in connection with the case but was later granted interim bail by the Telangana High Court.

The incident has left everyone in shock, and Allu Arjun has expressed his condolences to the family. However, he stated that he has been advised not to visit the family owing to ongoing legal proceedings. "My prayers remain with them, and I remain committed to taking responsibility for addressing the medical and family needs," he said. Bhaskar, the father of Sri Tej, also spoke to the media, saying that he didn't blame Allu Arjun for the stampede.

As the family of Sri Tej struggles to come to terms with the tragedy, fans and well-wishers are sending their condolences and praying for the child's recovery. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of crowd control and safety measures at public events.
