High Court Stays Release Of 'Udaipur Files', Asks Centre To Take A Call | Read
In a setback for the makers of Udaipur Files, the Delhi High Court has stayed the film's release just a day before it was supposed to start being screened in theatres.
The film is based on the murder of tailor Kanhaiya Lal, who was beheaded in Udaipur in 2022 and the petitioners - Maulana Arshad Madani, President of the Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind, and journalist Prashant Tondon - had sought a permanent ban on its release, arguing that it promotes hate speech, targets a community and could incite communal tension.
