Shri Rajput Karni Sena (SRKS) warned of physical harm to the actress if she did not refrain from "inciting public sentiments". Deepika had on Tuesday hit out against those protesting the release of 'Padmavati' and had said that "we've regressed as a nation". The Mumbai Police have increased actor Deepika Padukone's security after the Shri Rajput Karni Sena issued the nose chopping threat to the actress.
Karni Sena leader Mahipal Singh Makrana on Thursday invoked the nose chopping of 'Surpanakha' in the epic Ramayana and said if the Bollywood film "Padmavati" was not banned and Padukone does not refrain from fanning sentiments with her provocative language, the Rajputs will not lag behind in acting.
The Shri Rajput Karni Sena has called for a country-wide bandh on December 1, the day Padmavati is slated to be released. The SRKS had earlier attacked the sets of Padmavati in Jaipur and even slapped Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Maharashtra Minister of State Ranjit Patil has assured Deepika Padukone of full security in the wake of the threats from the SRKS.
