Padmavati row: Minister asks not to violate law and order

Reacting on the release of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Padmavati', Rajasthan Home Minister Gulab Chand Kataria on 10 November said no one should take law and order into their hands.

"Until a committee doesn't look into the fact that if there is actually something that differs from historical facts, can't comment. Apart from that, no one should take law and order into their hands," Kataria told ANI.

The film has been embroiled in a spate of controversies ever since its inception.

The period drama starring Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor has been facing protests from various communal groups, including Shree Rajput Karni Sena, for allegedly tampering historical facts.
