Mahesh Manjrekar granted temporary protection from arrest by Bombay HC in obscenity case - The city police earlier this week lodged an FIR against Manjrekar and others under the Protection Of Children From Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
Mahesh Manjrekar, along with the producers of Marathi film Nay Varan Bhat Loncha Kon Nay Koncha, were seeking quashing of the FIR registered against them. As per the latest update, Bombay HC has asked the police not to take action against the film and the makers.
Manjrekar, who has directed the film, and producers Narendra Hirawat and Shreyansh Hirawat have moved the HC seeking that the case be quashed. They also sought interim protection from arrest.
In a setback for popular actor and filmmaker Mahesh Manjrekar, the Bombay High Court on Friday refused to grant him protection from any coercive action.
The NCW wrote to the I&B ministry after a complaint from Bharatiya Stree Shakti, which alleged that the trailer of the upcoming Marathi film “Nay Varan Bhat Loncha Kon Nay Koncha" shows obscene content depicting women and minors in objectionable ways.
