The Bengal Files trailer launch stopped by Kolkata Police

Bollywood director Vivek Agnihotri on Saturday alleged that the Kolkata Police stopped the trailer launch of his film The Bengal Files.

The trailer of the film, based on the 1946 Calcutta Riots, was slated to be launched at a five-star hotel in the city in the afternoon.

According to media report, police personnel present at the venue have refused to comment on the issue.

" If this is not dictatorship/fascism, then what is?...Law and order in your



state has failed, and this is the reason that everyone supports 'The Bengal Files'..." Vivek Agnihotri was quoted as saying to media channel.

"I have just got to know what some people came here (event venue in a private hotel) and cut all the wires. I don't know on whose orders this is happening? You know who those people are behind us. After all tests and trials, this program was being held. The hotel managers still can't tell us why we are not allowed to continue with our program..." he claimed.
