Security beefed up outside Shah Rukh Khan's bungalow

Adequate number of policemen have been deployed at actor's bungalow 'Mannat' in suburban Bandra after receiving information that Sena activists would hold protest against the actor outside his residence, they added.

"We have an information that a protest would be held by some activists of a political party outside the residence of Shah Rukh Khan. We have deployed our men to avert any untoward incident during the protest," said Joint Police Commissioner (Law & Order) Himanshu Roy.

"Those violating the law will be dealt with very strict action," he said.
Sena's senior lead Manohar Joshi said, "Shah Rukh should not interfere in the politics.This is the reason why we are protesting against the actor."

The actor had not asked for any security at his residence, Additional Police Commissioner Amitabh Gupta said, adding that police had assessed that there could be protests by Sena activists following which adequate measures were taken.

On Friday, alleged Shiv Sena activists went on the rampage tearing down posters of Shah Rukh's upcoming film 'My Name is Khan' in neighbouring Thane district over his remarks in favour of Pakistani cricketers in the IPL.
