HC grants bail to Allu Arjun
The high court’s order had come shortly after the actor was sent to 14-day judicial custody by a local court. The actor was sent to the jail at Chanchalguda here after the remand, amid tight security arrangements. Earlier in the day, the High Court delivered the order granting bail to Allu Arjun when he was taken to jail. The court had also asked the actor to cooperate with the authorities in the probe while granting interim bail to him.
