A day before the release of the controversy-hit film "Padmaavat", the police detained more than 100 supporters of the Karni Sena from Mumbai on Wednesday as a precautionary measure, an official said. The police are well-prepared to tackle any situation, he said, adding, "We have provided adequate security to the theatres." "The police took into preventive custody over 100 supporters of the Karni Sena to avoid any possible protests
against the film that may create law and order problems," a police spokesperson told PTI.

"Adequate security has also been provided to the makers and actors of the film," he said. Another senior police official said the supporters of the Karni Sena were detained as some of them had gathered for a protest, while some others were planning to stage an agitation tomorrow. "More people are likely to be taken into custody in this connection," he said.
