A professor and five students from Pune University were arrested for allegedly offending religious sensitivities by producing a play based on `Ramleela.` The dispute began when members of the RSS-affiliated Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) clashed with students from Pune University`s Lalit Kala Kendra over the play`s themes.
The show, dubbed `Ramleela,` featured backstage scenes with actors playing various roles in the Ramleela. According to ABVP`s Shiva Barole, the play had improper rhetoric and actions, such as Sita smoking and using abusive language towards Laxman. The ABVP objected, halted the performance, and filed a police complaint, requesting that the case be registered.
