A special court directed the police to probe a complaint against filmmaker Mahesh Manjrekar for allegedly portraying children in an objectionable manner in his latest film.

A special POCSO court directed the local police to probe makers of the film "Nay Varan Bhat Loncha Koni Nahi Koncha", including its director, Mahesh Manjrekar. Social activist Seema Deshpande, through her lawyer Prakash Salsingikar, had filed a complaint before the court seeking action against Manjrekar and others. The complaint states that the trailer of the movie, which was later released in theatres and OTT platforms, is abundant with "obscene material".
