Hyderabad: Strongly condemning the attack on the residences of film personalities, chief minister A Revanth Reddy has directed the director general of police (DGP) and the city police commissioner to deal sternly while protecting the law and order situation in the city.
In an X post, the chief minister ordered the police to keep a hawk eye on such incidents.
The CM’s comments came after OUJAC activists threw tomatoes and damaged flower pots at Tollywood actor Allu Arjun’s residence, earlier in the day.
They demanded justice for the family of 35-year-old Revathi, who died in the stampede caused during the premier of Pushpa 2 The Rise in Sandhya Theatre on December 2.
