Leo trailer pandemonium: No request for police protection, TN tells Madras HC

The Tamil Nadu police told the Madras high court that the theatre where a stampede-like situation occurred during a special screening of actor Vijay’s film trailer did not seek permission or protection for the show. The incident could have been avoided if the police had provided necessary protection, according to the court. The state public prosecutor clarified that the theatre management did not seek permission or protection from the police for the screening. The prosecutor also mentioned a previous incident where the actor had cancelled an audio launch due to false propaganda about police refusing permission.
