KA Paul Exclusive Live Interview

The tragic stampede at Sandhya Theater during the release of Pushpa 2 has sparked widespread discussion over the past two weeks, with fans, celebrities, and officials expressing their views on the incident. Among the voices addressing the tragedy was comedian Rahul Ramakrishna, who initially criticized the authorities’ preparedness and voiced support for actor Allu Arjun. However, the comedian has since retracted his earlier remarks following a detailed explanation by Hyderabad City Police Commissioner CV Anand.

Rahul shared his retraction in a social media post, accompanied by a video statement from Commissioner Anand that elaborated on the circumstances leading to the stampede. The video clarified key aspects of the incident and highlighted the efforts of law enforcement to manage the situation.

Acknowledging his earlier misjudgment, Rahul wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “I was not properly informed about the incident that day. I am withdrawing the comments I made.” He further expressed regret over his earlier criticism, stating, “I was terribly uninformed about all the events that took place. I take back my statements that I made previously.”

In his initial comments, Rahul had pointed out the need for better crowd management during high-profile events, drawing parallels to other mass gatherings such as religious processions and political rallies. While he emphasized the importance of proactive measures in ensuring public safety, his statements have since been retracted in light of the police’s clarification.

The Sandhya Theater stampede incident has prompted broader conversations about crowd control and public safety during major events. Officials have urged organizers and authorities to work in tandem to prevent such tragedies in the future.
