The play was part of a competition at Lalit Kala Kendra.

According to officials, at least two students suffered injuries as the attackers alleged that the play showed lord Ram and Sita in a poor light.

Students approached the police station late night.

Suresh Bhosale from SPPU security department said, “We were not given any prior intimation about the programme and came to know about it after the incident.”

Both the parties filed cross complaints at the Chatuhshrungi police station.
