A body has been found hanging outside a fort in the northern state of Rajasthan along with a warning note that mentions controversial Indian film Padmavati.
Police told BBC Hindi that they were investigating to determine whether it was a suicide or murder.
“We don’t burn effigies, we hang,” the note reads . It’s not clear if the note is against or in support of the film. Protesting right-wing groups say Padmavati insults an iconic Hindu queen. The director has denied this.
Hindu groups say the film has a scene showing a dream sequence where a Muslim king romances the Hindu queen Padmavati.
