Despite the presence of private security and local police, the sheer volume of people made the situation difficult to manage. Videos circulating on social media show fans jostling for space and chanting slogans, with some even climbing onto the roof of the actor's vehicle as he arrived.

Damage to Hospital Infrastructure

The most significant incident occurred inside the building, where a large number of fans crowded onto an escalator to reach the inauguration floor. The excessive weight and uncontrolled movement caused the escalator to malfunction and sustain structural damage, including broken glass panels.

Hospital authorities were forced to temporarily cord off the area to prevent injuries. In addition to the escalator, several pieces of furniture in the reception area were reportedly damaged during the surge.

Police Resort to Mild Force

To restore order and ensure the safety of both the actor and the hospital's patients, Bengaluru police were forced to carry out a mild lathi charge to disperse the crowd. Officers eventually established a secure corridor, allowing Jr NTR to proceed with the inauguration ceremony.

The actor remained composed throughout the incident, waving to his supporters before heading inside. During the event, he briefly interacted with the medical staff and even addressed questions regarding International Women’s Day, though he later urged fans to remain disciplined at public gatherings. Jr NTR’s ‘Devara 2’ To Go on Floors in May 2026?
