The Madhya Pradesh government will write to the centre for a "lookout circular" against filmmaker Leena Manimekalai, officials in Bhopal said.
A day after multiple cases were filed in Madhya Pradesh against filmmaker Leena Manimekalai for a film poster featuring Goddess Kali, the Shivraj Singh Chouhan government has said it will write to the centre to send out an order to detain her if she tried to enter or leave the country.
The state government will write to the centre for a "lookout circular" against the filmmaker, officials in Bhopal said.
Three separate police cases or FIRs have been registered so far against the Madurai-born Toronto-based filmmaker at police stations in Bhopal, Ratlam and Jabalpur districts. The filmmaker also faces FIRs in Delhi and Uttar Pradesh.
Ms Manimekalai had tweeted a poster of her documentary film 'Kaali' which showed the Goddess smoking and holding an LGBTQ flag, triggering outrage.
