Hyderabad police filed a chargesheet naming actor Allu Arjun as an accused in the 'Pushpa 2' pre-release event stampede case. The incident, which occurred a year ago, resulted in one death. Allu Arjun is listed as Accused No. 11 in the case.

Nearly a year after a stampede during the pre-release screening of 'Pushpa 2 - The Rule' at Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad, the city police have filed a chargesheet in the case. Actor Allu Arjun has been named as one of the accused.

The chargesheet, which was filed earlier this week by the Chikkadpally police, also names the actor's personal security staff and the theatre management.

"We've named actor Allu Arjun as A11 in the case... The injured is still undergoing treatment, and we're praying for their health," Kumar told ANI.
