Monday, 25 October 2021 | PTI | Bhopal

Bajrang Dal activists allegedly ransacked the set of the third season of web-series 'Ashram' here and also threw ink on its producer-director Prakash Jha, accusing him of portraying Hindus wrongly, police said.

 The windscreens of two buses of the crew were also broken in stone-pelting, they said.

  Besides that, Bajrang Dal threatened that it would not allow the shooting of this web series further. Talking to PTI, Superintendent of Police (SP), Bhopal south, Sai Krishna Thota, said that some people raised objections and staged protest over the name of the web series when it's shooting was underway at Old Jail Premises located in Arera Hills.

 "Bajrang Dal activists objected that this web series hurt the sentiments of Hindus as it contains obscene scenes," he said. The protesters also threw ink on Prakash Jha and pelted stones, the officer added.

Thota said that the windscreens of two buses were damaged due to stone pelting and one person was injured.

He said that immediately after the incident, police personnel reached the spot and brought the situation under control.
