Meanwhile, on Sunday morning, the Ramgopalpet police issued a notice to Allu Arjun, prompting him to cancel his scheduled visit to meet Sri Tej, the boy injured in the stampede, at KIMS Hospital.

The notice read: “We recommend reconsidering this public visit to ensure minimal disruption to hospital operations and to maintain the peaceful environs of the hospital. Additionally, we advise maintaining confidentiality regarding your visit to prevent a gathering of public or media at the premises.”

The police further warned that if the visit led to any public disorder or disruption of hospital activities, Allu Arjun would be held accountable. “We emphasise your cooperation to prevent any unforeseen circumstances arising from this visit. Should any negative consequences affect public safety or hospital operations due to your actions, you will be solely responsible,” the notice stated.
