Pushpa 2 Stampede Victim Declared Brain Dead

The young boy who was injured in a stampede during the premiere of Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2: The Rule has been declared brain dead. The stampede was caused after the actor and his team arrived at Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad during the screening of the film. The boy’s mother lost her life, while he was grievously injured. He has now been put on ventilator support due to the extensive injuries he suffered in the stampede.

As per KIMS Cuddles Hospital’s health bulletin, “His fever is reducing and on minimal inotropes, his vital parameters are stable. He is tolerating feeds well,” the bulletin read. Hyderabad City Police Commissioner CV Anand reportedly told the media that he is ‘brain dead’ after visiting the hospital.

Meanwhile, a couple of days back, Allu Arjun penned a note expressing his deep concern over the condition of the boy.
