HYDERABAD: The management of the Sandhya Theatre has reportedly told the Hyderabad Police that it can in no way be blamed for the stampede on December 4 that claimed the life of a woman and left a boy battling for life since a major movie production house was managing the security for the premiere of Pushpa-2.
