HYDERABAD: The Hyderabad police on Tuesday questioned popular Telugu actor Allu Arjun for nearly four hours over his role in the Sandhya Theatre stampede, where a woman was killed and her nine-year-old son injured during the premiere of his film Pushpa 2: The Rule, said people familiar with the matter.
Arjun was asked 20 questions between 11.05am and 2.47pm, said police officers aware of the matter, adding that he answered few of them and "remained silent during most".
He was accompanied by his father Allu Aravind, father-in-law K Chandrasekhar Reddy and producer Bunny Vasu.
Deputy commissioner of police, Hyderabad (central zone), Akshansh Yadav, Chikkadpally assistant commissioner of police, Ramesh Kumar, and senior inspector Raju Yadav interrogated the actor, who has been in the eye of the storm since the December 4 stampede in the city.
