Nusrat Jahan seeks security in London after getting death threats for posing as Goddess Durga in her 'Shubho Mahalaya' post

Actress and TMC MP Nusrat Jahan, who is currently in London for the shooting of a Bengali film received death threats for an Instagram post where she posed as Goddess Durga wishing 'Shubho Mahalaya' to fans. Now, Nusrat has sought security from Indian High Commission in the UK in a letter that read as, 'I have received a death threat via my social media pages (ie. Facebook/Instagram/Twitter etc) from some fundamentalists who belong to India and neighbouring countries... During my stay in London, I require immediate police protection as the threat is very serious and affecting my mental health. Kindly arrange to provide me necessary protection in London'. Meanwhile, in UP’s Deoband, which is home to one of the largest Islamic seminaries of India, clerics asked her to 'repent' as one of the Islamic scholars said 'Nusrat Jahan likes to do such things; she is always in controversy. These things are forbidden in Islam, but she is doing it. People are often offended by her work. I think it is totally wrong. She must repent.'
