No show for Khap in Haryana

 

Khap highlights the role of the Khap Mahapanchayats in honour killings in Haryana. The film ran into trouble on Friday after many exhibitors in Haryana refused to screen the film fearing violence from Jat supporters. .

 

Many Jat leaders of the state had threatened to protest against the screening of the film, claiming it was anti-khap and showed the traditional panchayats in poor light. They had asked the public to boycott the film and issued veiled threats of violence if it was screened. .

 

Anand cinema hall in Sonipat did have one show but they too withdrew the movie's screening after being asked to do so by the district police.
