After NCW's letter to I&B ministry, NCPCR asks Maha police to file FIR against Marathi film

The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) has written to the Director-General of Police (DGP) Maharashtra and has asked them to file an FIR against Marathi film Nay Varan Bhat Loncha Kon Na Koncha. This comes after National Commission for Women (NCW) sent a letter to the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting (I&B).

Marathi movie Nay Varan Bhat Loncha Kon Na Koncha has landed in more trouble. The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) has written to the Director-General of Police (DGP) Maharashtra and has asked for an FIR to be registered against the makers of the movie. This comes after the National Commission for Women (NCW) Chairperson Rekha Sharma wrote to the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting (I&B) to censor the trailer of the Marathi film.

The NCPCR sent the notice based on a complaint which alleged that the portrayal of minors committing illegal and unlawful acts throughout the trailer falls under Section 2 (c) of The Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act, 1986 and is prima facie violation of Section 292 of the IPC, which deals with production, distribution and selling of the obscene material, section 13 of the POCSO Act i.e. Protection of Child From Sexual Offense Act, 2012, which deals with the use of a child for pornographic purposes, and Section 67 of the Information and Technology Act, 2000.
