A Haryana BJP leader was booked on Tuesday for threatening to behead Bollywood filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali and actress Deepika Padukone over their movie Padmavati and for standing firm by his announcement of a 10 crore reward for it.
Haryana’s chief media coordinator Kunwar Surajpal Singh Ammu was booked under Section 506 (criminal intimidation) of Indian Penal Code at Gurugram’s Sector 29 police station on the complaint by a fan of Deepika and Bhansali.
Complainant Pawan Kumar, a resident of Gurugram’s Chakkarpur village, said in his complaint that his “feelings were badly hurt” by Ammu’s statement.

“I saw Ammu announcing 10 crore reward for beheading film actress Padukone and filmmaker Bhansali. He has threatened both of dire consequences. Life of Padukone and Bhansali were in danger. Please take action against Ammu,” Kumar said in his complaint.
On the other hand, Ammu on Tuesday dared Haryana Police to arrest him. He said he stood firmly by his statement whether he remained in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) or not.
Ammu said he gave the statement as a “Rajput” and not as an office-bearer of the party.
