Haseena Parkar: Hindu Sena asks Home Ministry to probe vested interests in Shraddha Kapoor's film

Vishnu Gupta, National President, Hindu Sena, has written a letter to the Home Ministry asking them to investigate whether there are any vested interests in the release of Apoorva Lakhia’s crime biopic Haseena Parkar, starring Shraddha Kapoor in the titular role.

The letter alleges that the film intends to depict the Mumbai Police in bad light as far as the investigation into the Mumbai explosions is concerned. It also alleges that the film is intended to gain sympathy for Ibrahim and his family. “As per today’s press conference by the Thane Police Commissioner on capture of Dawood Ibrahim’s brother Iqbal Kaskar from Haseena Parkar’s house for extortion from builder, there may be a possibility of the Bollywood connection of money laundering in the movie funding by the underworld gang and glorification of their crimes against humanity,” the letter read. Hindu Sena has thus, demanded an inquiry into the film’s funding and the possible connections of the cast and crew with the underworld.
