Ashram 3 Set Vandalized By Bajrang Dal, Ink Thrown At Prakash Jha

Bobby Deol starrer web series ‘Ashram 3’ directed by Prakash Jha has sparked controversy. Bajrang Dal workers on Sunday vandalised the sets of the series in Bhopal. They also threw ink on filmmaker Prakash Jha. Bajrang Dal Bhopal leader Sushil Sudele demanded that the name of the show has to be changed from Ashram. He added that if the name is not changed then they will not allow the show to be filmed here in Bhopal.

“We want the film industry to be promoted here in Madhya Pradesh. People should get employment, but this land should not be used to humiliate Hindu samaj. In the earlier instalment of the series, it was shown that women are exploited inside Ashram, is it so? Stop defaming Hindus and if he wants to gain popularity then why not name any other religion and see the number of protests that happen,” the Bajrang Dal leader said.

As per ANI reports, The Bajrang Dal workers went on a rampage on the sets. They shouted “Prakash Jha Murdabad”, “Bobby Deol Murdabad” and “Jai Shri Ram”. They also said that they were looking for Bobby Deol, the main character of the series. Vehicles of the shooting party were also stopped by the Bajrang Dal workers who pelted stones at them, leaving some crew members injured.

Irshad Wali, DIG Bhopal said that all the miscreants have been removed from the premises. He added tha action will be taken against those responsible.

This is not Ashram’s first touch with controversy. A Jodhpur court in 2020 issued notice to Bobby Deol and Prakash Jha. An advocate moved the court claiming that the series hurts religious sentiments. Rajasthan Police also booked the makers of the series for allegedly promoting discrimination against SC/STs.
