Gujarat police on Friday detained around 40 Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) workers for disrupting the shoot of Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming film Raees.

VHP members have been protesting against the ongoing shooting of Khan’s Raees this week for his earlier remarks on intolerance.

Around 20-30 VHP activists have handed over a memorandum to district officers and demanded the withdrawal of permission to the shooting of the film.

Khan had entered an ongoing debate on intolerance on 2 November last year by expressing that there was “extreme intolerance” in the country.
