The film also featured Mantra, Mohnish Bahl, Padmini Kolhapure, Sahil Salathia, Kunal Kapoor, Fahim Fazli, Mir Sarwar, Milind Gunaji, Abhishek Nigam and Suhasini Mulay in crucial roles.

Heads of the three branches also appreciated the work and services of Rahmani Fazli.

Interior Minister Rahmani Fazli has also had the temerity to diverge, albeit ever so slightly, from Khamenei's version.

Mr Rahmani-Fazli also claimed that between 10 to 20 per cent of protesters had “criminal records”, and that the demonstrators organised themselves into teams of four or five, with one member always a female.

Mr Rahmanli-Fazli’s willingness to detail the widespread nature of the uprising may be an attempt to rally regime supporters by highlighting the threat the opposition poses.

Taliban fighters had been able to penetrate deep into Kunduz, briefly occupying the health department and a hospital, said Ehsanullah Fazli, the health director for Kunduz Province.

Issuing a formal decree on Sunday, Iranian Interior Minister Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli urged the governor general of Sistan and Balouchestan Province to follow up the case.
