The six individuals arrested for vandalising actor Allu Arjun's residence in Jubilee Hills yesterday have been granted bail. The accused were presented before a Hyderabad court this morning, where bail was granted, said Advocate Ramdas.
"The students of Osmania Univesity were demonstrating peacefully. When the police force attacked them they acted in their self-defence. Police filed a case against them. After their appearance before the judge today, 6 people have been given bail without any conditions and a fine." Advocate of the accused said as quoted by ANI.
The group of protesters, reportedly affiliated with the Osmania University Joint Action Committee (OU-JAC), staged the demonstration to demand justice for the family of Revathi, a female fan who died in a stampede during the premiere of 'Pushpa 2: The Rule' on December 4. A viral video showed the group throwing stones, breaking flowerpots, and allegedly throwing tomatoes at the actor's home. The protesters also attempted to force their way into Allu Arjun's residence.
