Bengaluru: Following threats and rewards to behead Actor Deepika Padukone, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah appealed to his Haryana counterpart, Manohar Lal Khattar, to take strict action against those threatening to kill Deepika.
The state government has up security cover to her family in Bengaluru.
Deepika’s father Prakash Padukone, a former world number one in badminton, her mother and sister live in the city. Prakash Padukone confirmed that police personnel were posted outside his residence in the city.
Deepika plays the lead in the Bollywood movie Padmavati. Some groups are opposing the yet-to-be-released film, claiming it distorts history and shows the queen, in a poor light. A man in Uttar Pradesh has offered a Rs 5-crore reward to anyone killing Deepika and director Sanjay Leela Bhansali. A BJP leader in Rajasthan on Sunday offered to double the bounty.
