VN Rai, Retired DGP Haryana: Arrest of Allu Arjun in Woman’s Death Case Shows Telangana Police’s Professional Failure
In a scathing critique, former Haryana DGP, VN Rai, has condemned the arrest of actor Allu Arjun in connection with a woman’s death during the screening of his film Pushpa 2 in Hyderabad. Rai called the action a reflection of the Telangana Police’s professional bankruptcy, highlighting their misguided application of the vicarious liability principle in a criminal case where it was clearly inapplicable.
Rai also raised concerns about political motives, questioning if this was an example of political expediency under the Congress-led government in Telangana. He further asked, “If a similar incident happens during Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra tomorrow, will they arrest him too?”
He emphasized that there is no logical reason to hold Allu Arjun responsible for the tragic incident, pointing out that the actor was neither the organizer of the event nor involved in any way with the management of the crowd. Rai expressed disbelief that local police, who should have been aware of such a crowd-pulling event in their jurisdiction, failed to take necessary precautions.
