A mob of Bajrang Dal members shouted slogans like Prakash Jha Murdabad, Bobby Deol Murdabad and Jai Shri Ram as they attacked the set at Old Jail Premises located in Arera Hills in the evening.

Prakash Jha’s web series Aashram starring Bobby Deol was an assault on Hinduism and they will not allow its filming till the title was changed, said the activists. The web series has not filed a complaint about the attack. He has assured the Bajrang Dal activist that he will change the name of the series.

They made Ashram 1, Ashram 2 and were shooting Ashram 3 here. Prakash Jha showed in Ashram that the guru was abusing women. Does he have the guts to make such a film on a church or madrasa? Who does he think he is?
