Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], Jan 23 (ANI): The Ahmedabad Police on Wednesday arrested 48 people from various locations under act of rioting for unleashing violence in the city in connection with the release of controversial movie 'Padmaavat'.

"Incidents take place at three-four locations simultaneously. Police managed to stop protesters from entering multiplexes and malls. 48 people were picked up last night from various locations under act of rioting. Key conspirators identified after interrogation, four FIRs registered", AK Singh, Commissioner of Police (CP), Ahmedabad said.
