On 24th September 2002, two armed men entered the Swaminarayan temple by trespassing the security and started an open fire at the visitors and pilgrims. As a result of the carnage, around 30 people were killed and more than 80 were injured. Brave NSG commandos took over and ended the siege, rescuing those held hostage by the terrorists.

The State Of Siege series was designed to give their perspective and contribution. The success of State of Siege: 26/11 encouraged us to tell these stories further and the obvious extension for us was to chronicle the events of the temple attack that shook the nation. Akshaye's demeanor and craft make him the perfect fit to lead this narrative, and we're more than excited to be partnering with ZEE5 again on this one."
