National Award-Winning Film Director Assaulted In Madhya Pradesh

Filmmaker Prakash Jha was roughed up, his face smeared with ink on Sunday when a group of Bajrang Dal members went on a rampage on the set of his web series being shot in Bhopal. Now Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra has defended the action saying that the use of the word "Ashram" in the series is offensive and on anything controversial, filmmakers need to clear their scripts. He has also ordered a probe into a Dabur advertisement which showed a same-sex couple celebrating Karva Chauth.
