A group of masked men stormed a west London cinema shouting ‘down with India’ during a Bollywood film leaving customers ‘terrified’.
Rashmi Chaubey, who posted the footage onto Facebook, said: ‘It’s a completely frightening and intimidating experience when 20+ men with masked faces and carrying a kirpan entered and blocked the exit in a dark theatre.
Saloni Belaid, who had bought tickets to the film, said the men had pushed themselves past staff members and shouted ‘down with India’ after the film was dibbed ‘anti-Sikh’.
She told Times of India cinema staff did not come to help, and despite police arriving within 10 minutes they did not stop the group as they were exercising their right to protest.
