Gokalesh Katara also added, “There had been scenes of a baraat moving from a school premises. Based on media reports, we have come to know that the story somehow revolves around marriage links between Nandgaon and Barsana villages of Mathura. There is a population of about 200 Muslims in Nandgaon and about 1,000 Muslims in Barsana but they too have been cooperative enough to maintain this tradition and don’t have inter-village marriages.”
Katara also goes on to say, “If the movie depicts marriage between people of Nandgaon and Barsana, a legal notice would be served to the director of movie for hurting sentiments of people from these two villages. We would ask the makers of the movie to provide us the script and then only a decision to proceed legally would begin.”
Reportedly, Priests of the two villages also raised their voice against the film and called a mahapanchayat to discuss the matter for the future of the film shooting.
On the other hand, Ajay Kumar Awasthi, ADM (execution), Mathura,”We had been busy with the governor’s programme and as such no one came to meet us today,”
