Centre to examine claims of Dhurandhar 2 revealing sensitive information?

The Delhi High Court has asked the centre and the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to examine the allegations made by military personnel that the film Dhurandhar: The Revenge disclosed sensitive details relating to military and intelligence operations, as per the report of ANI. The same report suggests that a division bench of Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya and Justice Tejas Karia directed the petitioner to submit a representation before the ministry to consider the concerns raised in the plea.

The petition was filed by Deepak Kumar, a personnel of the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB), through

advocate Jagjeet Singh. The plea stated that the petitioner is presently posted at the Force Headquarters of the SSB in RK Puram, New Delhi. The plea states that certain scenes showed operational methods, tactical procedures and intelligence-related activities in a manner that could affect national security and put undercover agents at risk.
