Pushpa 2 stampede: NHRC seeks action taken report from Hyderabad CP-OxBig News Network

The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has asked for a detailed action taken report on the Pushpa 2 stampede at Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad that claimed the life of a 35-year-old woman and left her son hospitalised. While taking cognisance of the case, the commission said, “Let a copy of the complaint be transmitted to the Commissioner of Police, Hyderabad, to have the allegations inquired by a senior rank police officer, ensure the needful action and submit the detailed action taken report to the Commission within four weeks.”

The order followed a complaint by Rama Rao Immaneni, an advocate at the Telangana High Court.

According to the commission, the complainant alleged that lathi charge resorted by police officials and lack of necessary arrangements for actor Allu Arjun’s arrival, resulted in death of Revathi and injuries to her son. The complainant has requested intervention of the commission to take necessary action on erring police officials who have resorted to the lathi charge, the NHRC said.

Since posts of the Chairperson and Members are lying vacant in the Telangana State Human Rights Commission, Hyderabad, the NHRC has directed the matter to Hyderabad CP and Telangana Director General of Police (DGP) for detailed inquiry.
