Hyderabad: Calling the arrest of Allu Arjun “unwarranted and inappropriate”, BRS working president KT Rama Rao on Friday said that it is unfair to treat the national award-winning actor as a “common criminal”.

Taking a dig at the Congress government, Rao called the arrest of the National Award-winning actor a peak display of the rulers’ insecurity.

“I totally sympathize with the victims of the stampede, but who really failed really? Treating Allu Arjun Garu as a common criminal is uncalled for, especially for something for which he isn’t directly responsible,” Rao said on the social media platform ‘X’.

Rao emphasized the need for “respect” and “dignified conduct” while condemning the government’s alleged high-handed behavior.
