On Friday morning, a dead body was found hanging in Nahargarh Fort, Jaipur and along with that there was a Padmavati protest message that was engraved close to it and that says, “We don’t burn effigies. We kill”. However, the Rajput Karni Sena has condemned the violence and have denied any of their involvement in the incident.

The dead body was found hanging from one of the corners of the historic fort that overlooks the city. According to the reports, the body has been identified as Chetan. The police have found the Aadhar card in one of his pockets and a team of police has been sent to his residence for the further investigation.

This incident has happened only a day after when the British Board of Film Certification (BBFC) have certified the Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s upcoming Indian period drama movie titled ‘Padmavati’ in the United Kingdom. The Chief of Rajput Karni Sena, Lokendra Singh Kalvi, had expressed his disappointment in the British Board of Film Certification’s decision and he has demanded that the movie should be globally banned.

Today, the news channel News18 have posted a video on their Twitter account along with a caption saying, “#BREAKING | Hanging dead body found in Jaipur’s Nahargarh fort main gate; a message “We don’t burn effigies, we hang people’ found near the body.”

However,  the release of the movie has been indefinitely postponed from December 1, still, the protest continues. The protest is going all across the country against the release of the film that allegedly misappropriates the historical facts. The latest incident at the Nahargarh fort sets a dangerous precedent.

The movie ‘Padmavati’ has been facing a trouble from the various Rajput groups and by the political parties and they have even accused the director Sanjay Leela Bhansali of distorting history. However, Congress member Sachin Pilot has come out against the incident and have ordered to investigate in this matter and he even termed this as a sad affair. He said that any violence that happens is bad and should not be accepted and no one will support those who will be indulging in violence.

There are many groups that are protesting on the amid rumor that there is a dream sequence between the Rani Padmini and Muslim sultan Allauddin Khilji. However, the makers of the movie have clarified that there was no dream sequence between the two actors and that all was just a rumor.
