India Bans Indira Gandhi Assassination Film

India has blocked the release of a film about the assassination of former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, saying it glorifies her killers and could trigger violent public protests.

India's certification board said the film lauds the Sikh bodyguards who killed the former PM.

Certification board chair Leela Samson said panel members decided the film could not be released because it posed a threat to public "law and order."
