A man and his son were taken into custody after allegedly stabbing a police officer on duty at the Srinivasa Delux cinema in Narapala, where Pawan Kalyan star ‘Vakeel Saab’ was shown on Friday night. Police officer Mohammed Ghouse from Narpala Police Station regulated the crowd in the theater during the second show of the film.
Police said the defendants – Matti Pavan and Srinivas – were fighting with a group of people in the theater around 9 p.m. when the police officer dispersed them. Both defendants were drunk. People gathered again as the show ended and Matti Pavan and Srinivas argued with police officers. Pavan is said to have stabbed Mr. Ghouse with a knife. He was taken to a hospital and is now out of danger. The investigation is ongoing.
