In the name of protecting a queen’s honour, an anti-Padmaavat mob like Karni Sena and other fringe groups attacked school buses that were taking children home in Gurgaon on Wednesday afternoon. In the violence, at least one school bus badly damaged and scores of kids, who cowered on the floor to shield themselves from bricks flying at the windows and glass shards from shattered bus panes, deeply shocked.
More than seven schools in Gurgaon and Noida declared a holiday on Thursday in view of the violence. The attack was the most serious among acts of sporadic violence in parts of Delhi-NCR as Padmaavat hit screens on Wednesday.
Advisories have also been issued to shut schools and offices.
