Woman trampled at Pushpa 2 premiere

HYDERABAD, INDIA – DECEMBER 4, 2024 At the premiere of the film Pushpa 2: The Rule in Hyderabad, a tragic incident occurred in which a 39-year-old woman named Revati lost her life. Some sources report her age as 35. Revati was trampled to death during the chaos that ensued in the overcrowded crowd trying to enter the cinema for the special screening. Her son, whose name and age have not been disclosed, sustained serious injuries caused by suffocation and the crushing force of the crowd. He was hospitalized, and while his condition was critical initially, it was later stabilized.

This incident highlighted severe shortcomings in the organization of the event and a lack of adequate crowd control measures. The organizers failed to anticipate the massive turnout of fans eager to watch the film and did not provide proper crowd management, resulting in the chaos that led to this tragedy. Local authorities have launched an investigation and are planning legal action against those responsible.

Allu Arjun, the star of the film, expressed deep regret over the incident and publicly promised financial support to Revati’s family. Fans and the public have shared condolences on social media while calling for improved security measures at large-scale events to prevent such tragedies from happening again. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers posed by insufficient planning and organization at events with high public attendance.
