Rajput community hold protest against Padmaavat in Rajasthan

January 17, 2018 17:28

Rajput community members today held protest in Rajasthan's Chittorgarh against Sanjay Leela Bhansali's controversial film 'Padmaavat', demanding a complete ban on its release.

The Rajputs, along with other community members, staged a sit-in protest near Rithola crossing on the Udaipur-Ahmedabad highway by blocking it for nearly half-an-hour, police said.

Traffic had to be diverted due to long snarls of vehicles on the highway, they said.

However, no untoward incident was reported due to the security steps taken by the police administration as a precautionary measure to deal with the protesters, the police said.
