While Shah Rukh Khan is going to a whole different level to promote his film Raees, the police had to resort to lathicharge to disperse the crowd who went berserk upon the arrival in the Kota and Vadodara station in Gujarat. Earlier today, in a minor stampede like situation, one person died at the Vadodara railway station due to breathlessness as the crowd went crazy trying to catch a sight of superstar Shah Rukh Khan. Yesterday, the actor boarded August Kranti express from Mumbai to promote his movie. Meanwhile, one company of armed police forces has been deployed in Hazarat Nizamuddin Railway station in Delhi to control the crowd.
While speaking about the person who lost his life during the Raees promotion said that it was “extremely unfortunate incident and his prayers are with the deceased.”
