Hyderabad Police Issue Stern Warning Against Fake News on Sandhya Theatre Stampede

Hyderabad, Telangana – The Hyderabad City Police have issued a strong warning against the spread of misinformation and fabricated videos concerning the tragic stampede incident at Sandhya Theatre on December 4th. The incident, which resulted in the death of one woman and injuries to several others, occurred during a promotional event for the film "Pushpa: The Rise," starring actor Allu Arjun. The police department has taken a firm stance against those attempting to distort the facts of the incident and spread false narratives on social media.

The police warning follows the circulation of a misleading video claiming that the deceased, Revathi, was removed from the theatre at 9:16 PM, before Allu Arjun’s arrival. This narrative contradicts the official police timeline and findings, which have been publicly released. The police have emphasized that such fabricated videos not only misinform the public but also hinder the ongoing investigation into the incident. They have urged citizens to rely on official sources for information and refrain from spreading unverified claims.

The Hyderabad Police have explicitly stated that they will take strict legal action against individuals or social media handles found to be propagating false information or videos related to the stampede. They have stressed their commitment to a thorough and impartial investigation, aiming to establish the accurate sequence of events and determine accountability. The police department has also clarified that they are not targeting specific individuals or groups but rather focusing on the spread of misinformation and its potential to disrupt the investigation and cause further distress to the victims and their families.

The police have appealed to the public to cooperate with the investigation by sharing any credible evidence or information related to the incident. However, they have discouraged the dissemination of personal opinions or speculations, which could obstruct the investigative process. The police have also assured the public that the investigation is being conducted with the utmost sensitivity, recognizing the tragic loss of life and the impact on the injured victims.

The incident at Sandhya Theatre has sparked considerable public concern and generated extensive media coverage. The police have underscored the importance of responsible reporting and urged media outlets to refrain from amplifying unverified information. They have also emphasized the need for sensitivity in reporting on the incident, respecting the privacy and grief of the affected families. The police are working diligently to complete the investigation and provide a comprehensive report on the circumstances surrounding the stampede.

Beyond the immediate investigation, the incident has raised broader questions about crowd management and safety protocols at public events. The police have indicated that they are reviewing existing procedures and will be working with relevant stakeholders to implement any necessary improvements. This tragedy serves as a reminder of the importance of meticulous planning and effective crowd control measures to prevent such incidents in the future. The police have reiterated their commitment to ensuring public safety and maintaining order at all public gatherings. They have called upon event organizers and venue operators to prioritize safety precautions and adhere to established guidelines.
