Tension Erupts Between Police And Protesters

As learnt by the sources, tension erupted in the temple premises during the protest, as police tried to disperse the crowd with force.  “Prior to the actors' visit, the administration made proper security arrangements at the temple region. However, the actors themselves decided not to enter the premises as the movie director entered the temple premises without any difficulty,” said Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Dr Narottam Mishra. “Since Alia Bhatt is pregnant, she decided not to go to the temple amid the ruckus. Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor returned to Indore without darshan. From Indore, they will take a flight to Mumbai,” Ashish Singh, the DM of Ujjain, said while addressing the media.  https://twitter.com/RadharamnDas/status/1567316741591826433
