Padmaavat: Protesters in Bihar threaten to burn a theatre if the film releases there

We all know that Rajput Karni Sena are against the release of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Padmaavat’. Around six states had banned the film, but yesterday Supreme Court lifted the ban from all the states and had stated the movie would be releasing all over the country.

However, it looks like the Karni Sena are in no mood to respect the court’s decision as they still want the film to be banned. Recently, in Bihar they attacked a theatre and tore posters of the film.

A district police official said, “Around 40 activists of the Shri Rajput Karni Sena attacked Jyoti cinema hall in Muzaffarpur town, tore posters of ‘Padmaavat’, shouted slogans against its release and threatened to set ablaze the theatre if the film is screened.”

The police is yet to take any action against the protesters. According to the officials, the police will take a look at CCTV footage and then will further take any action. An official said, “Police have started an investigation into the incident.”
