Pushpa 2 stampede: Hyderabad police warn of action against those spreading false information and misleading videos
The HinduAmid the ongoing investigation into the Pushpa 2 stampede, the Hyderabad police on Wednesday issued a stern warning against what they called ‘individuals spreading false information and misleading videos related to the incident at Sandhya Theatre’. A 35-year-old woman was killed and her eight-year-old son is in intensive care unit of a private hospital after the stampede during the benefit show of Allu Arjun starrer Pushpa 2 at Sandhya Theatre on December 4. “However, it has come to the department’s attention that certain individuals are deliberately posting manipulated videos on social media to create a false narrative that the stampede occurred before the arrival of actor Allu Arjun,” the police said adding that strict legal action will be taken against those found to be spreading such deliberate misinformation. This comes a day after videos showing bouncers/guards at the theatre pushing public away with sticks made rounds on social media groups.
