An emotional Bansilal Ji recollected the morning of August 1990 when he found a letter written in Urdu at his door early in the morning. It read - Evacuate the house by this evening and run away and if you do not run, hand over your women to us or be the target of bullets.
While many question the veracity of these horrendous stories, Agnihotri asserts to have interviewed 700 Pandits making his film more of a documentary than a routine Bollywood outing.
