The actor, who was granted interim bail by Telangana High Court Friday evening an hour after a lower court sent him to judicial custody for 14 days, had to spend the night in the jail due to delay in the prison authorities receiving bail orders.
The prison authorities released the national award-winning actor from the rear gate of the jail. He was sent in an escort vehicle. The actor drove straight to the office of Geeta Arts. He will arrive at his residence in Jubilee Hills later.
Allu Arjun said after release from jail that he is a law-abiding citizen and respects the law, while promising all support to the family of the deceased person.
Talking to the media after reaching his house, he said he would cooperate with the law enforcing authorities and do the needful.
“I want to tell my fans that I am doing well. There is nothing to worry about. Thank you very much,” the actor said.
“It was very unfortunate. They went to watch the film and there was an accident. It was totally unintentional. I am very sorry for whatever has happened. It was purely out of my personal control,” said Allu Arjun, who was booked by police for culpable homicide not amounting to murder.
