Shocking Revelations
In a shocking revelation, a letter has emerged in which Allu Arjun was denied permission to attend December 4 Pushpa 2 screening at the Sandhya theatre. The Chikkadpally Inspector of Police wrote a letter to the Sandhya theatre management denying Allu Arjun’s visit to the theatre citing safety concerns. The letter pointed out that the actor was warned against visiting the Sandhya theatre due to the absence of a proper exit at the venue.
On December 13, after Allu Arjun’s arrest, a letter from Sandhya Theatre management requesting police permission surfaced online. The viral letter contradicted claims that the police were unaware of the actor’s visit. In response, the police clarified they lacked the resources to ensure security.
“We receive a lot of requests for bandobast citing visits by some political personalities, film celebrities, religious programs etc. However, it is beyond our resources to provide bandobast for every event. In specific cases where a heavy crowd is expected or some popular personality is visiting, organiser personally visits police station/ACP/DCP office and briefs about the event, depending upon which we provide bandobust,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Central Zone Akshansh Yadav wrote
