Allu Aravind told a group of reporters in Hyderabad, “To support the family and the boy after he comes out of hospital, we thought we should support them with the amount of Rs 2 crores… to be handed over Dil Raju (the Chairperson of the Telangana Film Development Corporation). We are thankful (to Dil Raju) for being an intermediary between the family and ourselves.”
Allu Aravind also said that he has been regularly inquiring about the condition of Sri Tej and he is glad that he is doing better now. “We are pleased to know the ventilator has been removed and he is breathing on his own. Doctors are positive. We wish he will soon walk with us… That is our belief and our prayer,” he added.
On December 13, Allu Arjun, who was charged with culpable homicide not amounting to murder for the said incident, was arrested and sent to judicial custody for 14 days. However, he was released on bail hours later. The actor and director Sukumar had earlier donated Rs. 25 lakh and Rs. 5 lakh to the victims’ family respectively.
