Sandhya Theatre stampede case: Telangana DGP Jitender today (December 29) said that the law would take its own course in the case related to the death of a woman in a stampede in Hyderabad during the premiere show of the blockbuster film 'Pushpa-2'. Allu Arjun, actor in the movie, is an accused in this case.
Reacting to a query during a year-end press conference, the top cop, however, refused to elaborate much, saying the matter is sub judice. "The case is already under investigation. The court is also looking into this. It is sub judice also. Moreover, law will take its own course. This is what I have to say. Nothing more," Jitender said.
