The pro-Pakistan slogans infuriated the fellow movie-watchers since they were watching the film that had depicted how Pandits were forced to flee the Kashmir Valley after Pakistan-sponsored terrorists reigned terror on the community.

Following the incident, the cinema staff called Police to control the situation, however, the culprits managed to flee the spot. The Police is trying to establish the identity of the accused persons. They have also gathered evidence from CCTV footage, however, nothing concrete has been found yet.

“We are verifying the matter. No formal complaint has been filled yet. It looks like few are intentionally trying to spoil the atmosphere and escalate tension,” local Police officials said.
