Toxic Chaos, Case Booked Against Malla Reddy!

Yash’s Toxic pre release event in Hyderabad turned chaotic on Saturday night after a sound system structure collapsed during the programme at Malla Reddy University. The event had attracted a huge crowd of students and fans who gathered to catch a glimpse of Yash and the Toxic team.

The incident happened while Yash was addressing the gathering. A sound speaker structure reportedly collapsed near the audience, leaving several students injured. According to Petbasheerabad Police, four students suffered injuries and one of them sustained a fracture.

Videos and reports from the event showed some people climbing onto structures near the stage. The sudden collapse created panic among the crowd. Initial reports described the incident as a possible stampede, but Petbasheerabad Police later clarified that there was no stampede and that the injuries were caused by the falling sound equipment.

Yash, who was on stage at the time, immediately noticed the commotion and stopped his speech. He reportedly asked the organisers and security personnel to check whether the students were safe. After being informed about the situation, he continued with the event.

The incident has now led to legal action. Petbasheerabad Police have registered a case against the management of Malla Reddy Group of Institutions and the event manager over the incident. The case has raised questions about the safety arrangements and crowd management at the high profile promotional event.

The incident has also brought renewed attention to the responsibility of event organisers when thousands of fans and students gather for celebrity programmes. Proper crowd control, safe stage arrangements and strict monitoring of event structures are crucial at such large gatherings.

Toxic, directed by Geetu Mohandas and starring Yash, is scheduled to hit theatres worldwide on August 26. The film also features Kiara Advani, Nayanthara, Huma Qureshi, Rukmini Vasanth and Tara Sutaria in key roles.
