Hyderabad, 23 Dec
Six accused who allegedly vandalised Actor Allu Arjun's
Jubilee Hills residence recently in Telangana's Hyderabad were granted bail, a
lawyer said, adding that they were produced before a Hyderabad court on Monday
morning.
Advocate Ramdas, appearing for the accused, said that these
students of Osmania University were protesting peacefully when the police
attacked them, prompting them to act in self-defence. "The students of
Osmania Univesity were demonstrating peacefully. When the police force attacked
them, they acted in their self-defence. Police filed a case against them. After
their appearance before the judge today, six people have been given bail
without any conditions and a fine," Ramdas told ANI.
As per Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) West Zone,
Hyderabad, on Sunday evening some persons holding placards in their hands
suddenly rushed to the residence of actor Allu Arjun in Jubilee Hills and
started sloganeering.
One of them mounted the compound and started throwing
tomatoes, a police official said, adding that six persons were taken into
custody, who claimed to be part of the Osmania University Joint Action
Committee (OUJAC).
Earlier, a case was registered against six members of the
Osmania University Joint Action Committee (OU-JAC) for allegedly vandalising
actor Allu Arjun's residence amid the row over Sandhya Theatre Tragedy.
DCP West Zone, Hyderabad, said that stringent action has
been initiated against the accused. The police charged the accused in sections
190, 191(2), 331(5), 324(2), 292, 126(2), 131, and 331(5) of Bharatiya Nyay
Sanhita (BNS).
The protestors also allegedly manhandled the security staff
and damaged some flower pots along the ramp. The visuals from the spot showed
broken pots, shattered glass, and damaged plants outside Allu Arjun's home,
which were reportedly caused by the stone pelting.
The tensions heightened after public statements were
exchanged between the actor and the government. According to Jubilee Hills
Police, members of the OUJAC staged a protest outside Allu Arjun's residence on
Sunday, holding placards and chanting slogans.
Meanwhile, Hyderabad Police Commissioner CV Anand on Monday issued an apology for making remarks against the National media coverage of this issue, accusing the media of being biased. "I apologise for losing my cool when asked continuous provoking questions on ongoing investigations and making unnecessary general remarks about national media. I feel bad that I got provoked and it was wrong and should have kept calm. I withdraw my remarks wholeheartedly," CP Anand posted on X.
Whoever has done wrong, has to be sent to jail; law taking its course: Congress leader
Amid a controversy over the Sandhya theatre incident in Telangana, Congress leader Anirudh Reddy on Monday accused actor Allu Arjun of using the public's excitement for his own commercial gain.
"What happened at the Sandhya theatre was an unfortunate incident due to the visit of actor Allu Arjun...What he is doing is business, he is an actor, if the public comes, he will get more movies and money...but today it is a very serious issue, a mother died and the son is battling for his life but when he (Allu Arjun) got bail, so many actors came to his residence and they were hugging him and smiling, that was not a good scene...whoever has done wrong, has to be sent to jail and action has to be taken so the law is taking its course," the Congress leader said.—ANI
