New Delhi (PTI): Protests over "Jodhaa Akbar" continued in several parts of the country on Sunday, with youths disrupting its screening at a Gurgaon Mall and a mob attacking a hall in Ahmedabad, where multiplexes temporarily stopped showing the film.

In the satellite town of Gurgaon near the national capital, around 100 youths belonging to the Rajput community disrupted the screening of the Ashutosh Gowariker film at the PVR multiplex at Metropolitan Mall.

The screening of the film was closed following the protest. The youths also pulled down and burnt posters of the movie. Police detained three youth for using abusive languages against the staff of the multiplex but later released them. The protestors demanded that the film be banned in Gurgaon for distorting history.

Most of the multiplexes in Ahmedabad temporarily stopped screening of the Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai starrer after a group of around 25 people came to all the multiplexes and warned against showing the film.

A group of people also vandalised a single-screen cinema hall in Naroda area of the city which was screening the movie. There were also protests in Surat, where the film was screened in presence of heavy police bandobast in most of the cinema halls and multiplexes.

A group of about 50 Rajput youths under the banner of Kshatriya Yuva Morcha assembled before the famous Ashok Cinema in Patna and tried to force their way inside but were prevented by securitymen. They then tore some posters put up on the walls and also burnt them before being chased away by police.
