The actor, dressed in a sweatshirt bearing his iconic ‘Pushpa’ dialogue, “There is no flower, there is fire in me,” was later escorted to Gandhi Hospital for a mandatory medical examination. By 3.30 pm, he was presented before the IX Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate at the Nampally criminal court.
The local court initially remanded Arjun to 14 days of judicial custody, and he was subsequently sent to Chanchalguda Central Jail. However, the Telangana high court intervened later in the day, granting him interim bail for four weeks.
Despite the court’s decision, Arjun was unable to leave the prison on Friday night due to procedural delays. Jail authorities explained, “They received the bail order late in the night and there are restrictions on the release of prisoners during night.” As a result, the actor will remain in custody overnight and is expected to be released on Saturday morning.
Hyderabad police have booked Allu Arjun and the theatre owners under charges of culpable homicide not amounting to murder, citing negligence and failure to ensure adequate crowd control at the film’s premiere.
