Singh said many miscreants had been arrested while adequate police force had been deployed outside all cinemas.The trouble began after more than 1,500 persons, claiming to be Sena activists, gathered outside Dev Arc Mall that houses a movie theatre, in the evening to hold a candlelight march.The group later went to the SG Highway, first reaching Acropolis Mall which has upmarket PVR cinema hall, and then other malls. Shouting slogans, the mob halted traffic on the busy road, followed by aron.Gujarat Deputy Chief Minister Nitin Patel exhorted people to boycott the movie, while also appealing to them to stay calm.Similar appeals were issued by Minister of State for Home Pradipsinh Jadeja and senior Minister Bhupendrasinh Chudasama, both Rajputs."It appears that certain antisocial elements are trying to defame our community," Chudasama said.Karni Sena leader claimed they had nothing to do with the violence and urged the state to initiate action the culprits."I will resign if there is any link (of violence) established with our organisation," Raj Shekhavat, President of Gujarat Rajput Karni Sena, told mediapersons.IANS For Latest Updates Please-
