The ongoing Padmavati row took an ugly turn on Friday when a man's body was found hanging in Rajasthan’s Nahargarh Fort, 20 km near Jaipur, with slogans against the movie scribbled on stones nearby. One of the slogans read ‘Padmavati ka virodh (Opposing Padmavati), while another read ‘Hum putle nahi jalate, latkate hain’ (we don’t burn effigies, we kill). The matter is being investigated by officers from the Brahmapuri Police Station. The deceased has been identified as Chetan. A plastic wire was found near Chetan's body. Police is not ruling out murder.
