Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy condemned the attack on Telugu superstar Allu Arjun's house on Sunday and ordered strict police action in the matter.
Reddy reacted hours after several members of Osmania University stormed into Allu Arjun's Jubilee Hills residence in Hyderabad and damaged the property.
"I condemn the attack on the homes of film personalities. I order the state DGP and the city police commissioner to take strict action in the matter of law and order. No lax will be tolerated in this matter," Reddy posted on X.
"Senior officials should take precautions to ensure that police personnel who are not involved in the Sandhya Theater incident do not respond. @TelanganaDGP @CPHydCity," he added.
After the Pushpa-2 star's house was
vandalised, police intervened and detained eight members of the university's Joint Action Committee (JAC), who were subsequently taken to the Jubilee Hills Police Station.
The group, comprising several leaders of the Osmania University JAC, attempted to force entry into the actor's house, demanding one crore as compensation to the family of the 35-year-old woman who died on December 4 during a stampede at a cinema hall in Hyderabad where the actor arrived for the premiere of his recent release "Pushpa 2: The Rule".
A video of the incident showed several men storming inside the actor's house and causing damage to the property. Flower pots inside the compound were also destroyed by the group.
Notably, Allu Arjun was not present at his residence when the incident occurred.
