The MHB police have registered a case against Alt Balaji Telefilm, its producer Ektaa Kapoor, and Shobha Kapoor under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. Reportedly, the case stems from a Borivali court order, following a complaint filed by Swapnil Rewaji, a yoga instructor from Borivali. The complaint, initially lodged with the MHB police in 2021, alleges that obscene scenes involving minors were filmed in three web series produced by Alt Balaji, including Class of 2017 and Class of 2020.

Obscene Scenes and Allegations The case, reportedly registered on October 18, 2024, accuses the web series of featuring inappropriate scenes involving minors, including actors dressed in school uniforms engaging in ‘lewd’ acts. The complainant, Swapnil Rewaji, claims that the content in these web series not only objectifies minors but also puts them at risk of harm due to the nature of the filming. As per reports, the FIR states that a minor girl was subjected to obscene filming and lewd communication between February and April 2021. Legal Charges Filed Based on the Borivali court's directive, the MHB police have invoked multiple legal provisions, including Sections 13 and 15 of the POCSO Act, which deal with the use of children for pornographic purposes. Additionally, the case includes charges under Section 67(a) of the Information Technology Prevention Act, Section 292 of the Women Prohibition Act, Sections 293 and 295(a) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), and the Prevention of Cigarette and Tobacco Products Advertisement Act. These charges collectively focus on obscenity, the inappropriate portrayal of minors, and content that could be harmful to children. Investigation Underway As of now, the police investigation is ongoing. The authorities are looking into the allegations of obscene filming in the web series produced by Alt Balaji. However, neither Alt Balaji Telefilm nor its producers, Ektaa Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor, have released any official statements regarding the case. The investigation is expected to continue, with more details likely to emerge in the coming weeks.

Bombay High Court orders stays the release of Hamare Baarah, two days before the film’s release June 07, 2024 at 01:02PM

By Banglore Film City
Hamare Baarah, which is making news for its bold approach and thought-provoking plotline, has been mired in controversy, with the makers landing in deep trouble. The highly anticipated release of Annu Kapoor, Manoj Joshi, and Paritosh Tripathi starrer, has encountered a significant setback as the Bombay High Court has issued a stay on its release just two days before its scheduled release on June 7, extending the hold until June 14. This unexpected turn of events has impacted the premiere of the film which was expected to be held this week, leaving makers in an uncertain dilemma. The legal obstacle arises from a petition filed by activists from a specific religious community at the Mumbai High Court, opposing the film's release. Producers Birender Bhagat and Ravi S Gupta have raised serious concerns regarding the imposition of the stay, especially given that the film had already obtained a censor certificate. In a recent statement given to NDTV, Mr Bhagat explained their predicame...
