Bengaluru, Nov. 21 (TNS): Amid the ongoing string of revolts against Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Padmavati’, the Karnataka Police have beefed up security of Deepika Padukone’s family in Bengaluru, Indian media reported on Tuesday.

Karnataka Home Minister Ramalinga Reddy  wrote to DGP Karnataka to ensure the security of Deepika Padukone and her family members. In the letter, Reddy even condemned Haryana’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Suraj Pal Amu’s Rs 10 crore ‘bounty’ statement.

Amu made derogatory remarks against ‘Padmavati’ film crew and announced a reward of Rs 10 crore for beheading the actress.

A heavy posse of security men has also been deployed outside Deepika’s residence in Mumbai.
