The Kukatpally Housing Board (KPHB) police have registered a suo motu case against the management of Lulu Mall and the event organisers on Thursday (December 18, 2025), a day after actor Nidhhi Agerwal was mobbed by an unruly crowd during the launch of a song from the upcoming film The Raja Saab.
The event, which also saw Agerwal’s co-star Prabhas, drew a large number of fans at the mall. Videos of the incident, which have since gone viral on social media platforms, show the actor struggling to move through a dense crowd as fans attempted to get close to her to take photographs and interact. She was seen surrounded on all sides and finding it difficult to reach her car, with the situation turning chaotic as her personal space was repeatedly breached.
KPHB Inspector S. Rajashekar Reddy said the organisers had failed to obtain prior permission to conduct the event. “A case is being registered against the mall management and the event organisers for holding the programme without permission,” he said.
Police said further investigation is under way to ascertain lapses in crowd control and security arrangements.
