Jaipur, Jan 14 (TIWN) Following on the heels of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, the Congress ruled Rajasthan has declared Deepika Padukone-starrer "Chhapaak" tax-free in the state.

The film has been facing the wrath of a certain section of people after Padukone visited the Jawaharlal Nehru University in Delhi to express solidarity with the students who were attacked by a masked mob on January 5.  The decision to declare the film tax-free in Rajasthan was taken on Friday night. “The move of exempting the film from tax has been welcomed by people. The film will educate people,” Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot told reporters on Saturday.  ‘Chhapaak’, directed by Meghna Gulzar, presents the story of acid attack survivor and activist Laxmi Agarwal.
