On July 15,2017, Madhur Bhandarkar a well known filmmaker was in Pune for the promotional press conference of his upcoming movie Indu Sarkar. Goons hired by Congress party entered in large numbers in the hotel lobby and created ruckus there. The filmmaker and his team was stranded like hostages in hotel room until the intervention of the police commissioner Rashmi Shukla and DCP Munde. Police protected the entire team from the blood thirsty goons of Congress party. And obviously Madhur had to cancel the promotional event of the movie.
Its baffling to see self proclaimed custodians of #freedomOfExpression creating huge ruckus to prevent a legitimate release of #InduSarkar pic.twitter.com/orJVVJULdp

Next day he was in Nagpur for similar event and almost the same thing was repeated. He had to cancel the Nagpur event as well because of the hooliganism of the congress party members. Talking to the ANI he said, He and his actors are frightened, they are being threatened,You(congress) are threatened by a film ? He questioned.
