Just been watching a bit of this on Star News. The substandard reporters are trying to give it a Sikh tint even before any investigations have been done. One of the senior policemen interviewed refused to speculate until all investigations are done.

NEW DELHI, May 22 (Reuters) - Two explosions injured dozens of people on Sunday in two New Delhi cinemas, which were screening a movie considered offensive to some Sikhs, police said.

Several other cinema halls across the city were evacuated immediately after the explosions, local television stations reported.

At least 40 people were hurt at one of the theatres, where shattered glass and debris littered the ground, police said. Witnesses said there was no major damage to the building.

At least seven were injured at the second cinema, Headlines Today television said.

There were no immediate reports of deaths. Further details were not immediately available and no cause had been determined for the blasts.

The two theatres were showing a film called "Jo Bole So Nihal". Some Sikhs complain the title, in the Punjabi language, offends their religion.

On Sunday, India's coalition government also celebrated the first anniversary of taking power.

Sad about the human loss and injured ppls. Though this step shouldn't be promoted nor it should be supported by any sikhs. The step against the humanity !

From this event, government, censor board and bollywood should learn that Sikhs are not the dogs who only knows of barking, they can bite too !

I wonder what did that individual who died and those that were injured did to deserve this. If the issue is with the film, then take it to the producers, the writers, the directors, take it to censor board, take it to the akal thakat that felt it was 'ok' to be released. When i say 'take it to ...." i don't mean bomb them. Killing innocent to make a point is NOT SIKHI. Did the Sikh of puratan times kill innocent Muslims because the Muslim Rulers were hell bent on killing Sikhs and to the comparison this is just a stupid movie.

IF indeed this was done by some radical group of Sikhs in retaliation to the Film.
