Under the Y-category security, Agnihotri will be provided with a security cover of eight officers, which is likely to have two commandos and police personnel.
The Kashmir Files outlines the brutalities endured by the Kashmiri Pandits and the ensuing mass exodus of the community from The Valley in the 1990s.
It has received a massive push from the Centre and states, with many extending tax breaks to it. The film also got the prime minister’s nod, who in a speech called out an “entire ecosystem” which is trying to sabotage and discredit a film that is telling the “truth”.
