The incident occurred on December 4 at Sandhya Theatre, where a massive crowd had gathered to see Allu Arjun at the premiere event. In the ensuing chaos, Sritej sustained severe injuries, while his mother lost her life.

Last month, a medical bulletin released by the hospital revealed, "Today, Sritej underwent a tracheostomy tube placement. The procedure was uneventful. He remains afebrile and is maintaining normal vital parameters with low-dose inotropes. However, his neurological status remains unchanged."

Meanwhile, actor Allu Arjun's father Allu Aravind met the victim at the hospital. He said that there was progress in Sritej's condition but the recovery might take time. Further, he appreciated Telangana government for taking responsibility for the medical expenses incurred for the boy's treatment.
