A plea seeking action against the film Dhurandhar for allegedly violating the Official Secrets Act has been filed in the Delhi High Court. Soldier Deepak Kumar approached the court, alleging that the film depicts certain elements that violate the Official Secrets Act.
The petitioner argued that the movie showcases sensitive information related to armed forces operations, which could impact the country’s security and integrity.
The Delhi High Court observed that although the film may be fictional and created for entertainment purposes, the petitioner’s concerns cannot be completely ignored.
The court further noted that films can influence society and that this aspect must be considered seriously.
During the hearing, the court said that the issues raised in the petition appeared to have some merit and that the concerned ministry and the censor board should make a decision on the matter.
The Delhi High Court has directed the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and the Censor Board to examine the matter seriously.
