Pandemonium Unleashed at ‘Pushpa 2’ Trailer Launch in Patna | – Times of India
Patna: The police and security personnel resorted to a lathicharge to control thousands of people who tried to break the barricading at Gandhi Maidan here on Sunday at the launch of the official trailer of ‘Pushpa 2: The Rule’, starring Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Faasil.
A huge crowd gathered to get a glimpse of the actors who arrived in Patna for the event. The situation became chaotic and people began hurling objects at each other, including slippers, bottles and stones. Some people even climbed the hoarding stand, electric poles and other structures at Gandhi Maidan while others tried to break the iron barricading to reach the stage. Meanwhile, the organisers kept requesting the fans to maintain law and order.
The stampede-like situation prompted the police and security personnel to swing into action and they used mild force to streamline the crowd. Patna senior superintendent of police (SSP) Rajiv Mishra, however, denied the baton-charge. “Some spectators who tried to break or move ahead of the barricading were stopped and removed from the site,” he said.
The videos, however, showed the use of batons on the crowd at Gandhi Maidan. Several videos circulating on social media captured the intense rush inside and outside Gandhi Maidan, showing a large crowd jostling for passes as they clamoured to attend the event.
