A few hours before the release of Padmaavat, the Mumbai police swung into action yesterday, and made preventive arrests of over 100 Karni Sena members across the city. Padmaavat releases today across the nation. Police took the action as the Karni Sena continues with its aggressive stance to stall the release.
