Indian Police Promise Extra Security For ‘MNIK’

MUMBAI : Security will be increased at cinemas for the Indian release of the latest Shah Rukh Khan film ‘My Name Is Khan’ after a row between the actor-producer and a hardline Hindu nationalist party, police said on Tuesday.

Mumbai police’s joint commissioner for law and order, Himanshu Roy, said officers could be deployed to the 63 theatres in the city showing the film, while checks will be made on cinema-goers.

“We will provide the security as long as it is required,” he told a news conference in the city after meeting multiplex owners concerned about possible attacks by activists from the Shiv Sena organisation.
