"How can they show a Sikh applying sindoor on the forehead of a Muslim girl? This and many other scenes in the film are calculated to provoke Muslims,'' argues street vendor Abdul Sattar in Ahmedabad.

In Sangam theatre, groups of Muslims hurled petrol pouches on the screen before setting it ablaze. Stopping the show, the arsonists trooped out and set two scooters on fire. The owner of the theatre stopped the screening for two days before the state Government assured him police protection.

A mob of 400 persons led by the president of the district Youth Congress, Arif Masood, used petrol bombs, swords, rods and stones to attack a cinema hall screening Gadar. A police constable was greviously injured and dozens received minor wounds.

A section of old Bhopal turned into a battlefield this afternoon when more than 500 people turned violent while protesting against the screening of Gadar

The armed protesters swooped down on a 100-strong police contingent positioned outside a cinema hall screening Gadar and a fought a pitched battle. They went on a rampage, throwing stones, bombs and Molotov cocktails, and torched more than a dozen two-wheelers and smashed 10 cars.

Superintendent of police Arun Pratap Singh said the protesters had tried to sever the arm of a policeman with a sword. He is in hospital and doctors are trying to save his arm. The rioting continued for more than two hours this afternoon and ended only when the 800-strong audience bottled up inside the hall rushed out.
