Speaking to ANI, Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) law and order, Mohammad Akil said, "Law and order situation is under control in Haryana. At some of the places people tried to take law in their hands but the situation has been controlled promptly. Directives have been passed to take strict actions against the hooligans".

He added that maximum level of security measures are arranged for tomorrow.

Several incidents of violent protests are surfacing in different parts of the nation against the release of the movie.
