Popular Indian actor, Allu Arjun, was arrested and later released on bail in connection with a crush that killed a person at the premiere of his film, Pushpa 2.

Arjun, one of the biggest stars of the Telugu film industry, had made a surprise appearance at the screening last week in Hyderabad city.

A 39-year-old woman was killed and her son critically injured in the crush.

A court initially sentenced the actor to 14 days in police custody but hours later, the high court granted him bail.

Police had filed a case against the actor, his security team and the theatre's management staff on charges of culpable homicide.

The owner and two employees of the theatre were arrested earlier.
