Allu Arjun seeks relief in case of violating code of conduct during AP elections 2024; submits quashing petition

Published by Parlour News

Allu Arjun grabbed the spotlight during the elections in Andhra Pradesh back in May 2024 after he violated the model code of conduct maintained during polling and visited Nandyal to show his support for YSRCP candidate Shilpa Ravi Chandra Kishore Reddy. While an immediate case was filed against the actor on this matter, it seems the star has now taken up a completely different recourse. The recent report suggests that Allu Arjun filed a petition to quash the existing case against him in the Andhra Pradesh High Court, where he was accused of violating Section 144 and Police Act 30, which were placed in action in Andhra Pradesh at that time. The actor’s visit to Nandyal to show his support for the candidate created a huge crowd gathering that went against the norms of poll conduct.
