Bajrang Dal and other right-wing Hindu outfits staged a protest here today demanding a ban on Aamir Khan-starrer movie 'PK' for allegedly hurting religious sentiments.
The activists of the Dal and those claiming to belong to some other Hindu outfits took out a protest march.
The protestors also burnt posters of the movie and set a fire Khan's effigy and demanded that an FIR be registered against its filmmakers and the cast, police said.
They also raised slogans against the movie demanding a ban on its screening across the country.
Two days ago, similar protests were held against the film, outside local cinema halls in Hisar town, with protesters torching posters of the movie and raising slogans demanding ban on its screening.
The film, which was released on December 19, takes a swipe at organised religion and godmen.
