Mumbai: Sending a stern message to
troublemakers protesting against the release of 'My Name is
Khan', Mumbai police on Friday said it would apply provisions of a
law against them, which stipulates that those inflicting damage
will have to compensate the victims.
"In case of any damage caused by protestors, we will
ensure that the victim gets the compensation. Section 51 and
others of the Bombay Police Act, which will pave way for the
victims to seek compensation, will be applied against the
agitators," Joint Police Commissioner (Law and Order) Himanshu
Roy said.
"Our utmost priority is to ensure everything goes fine
and apply stern sections of the IPC, the Bombay Police Act and
others against the troublemakers," he said.
Against the backdrop of the decision by multiplex chains
owners in Mumbai to have a limited release of Shah Rukh
Khan-starrer MNIK post-noon Friday, no untoward incident was
reported, Roy claimed.
Meanwhile, police have arrested 665 more Shiv Sainiks
this morning as a preventive measure, taking the total number
of the outfit's workers put behind the bars to 2,665 since
Tuesday.
