Delhi High Court Directs Centre to Examine Security Breach Allegations Against Movie Dhurandhar 2

The Delhi High Court directed the Central Board of Film Certification and the Union Ministry of Information and Broadcasting to look into allegations that the movie "Dhurandhar 2" breached the Official Secrets Act.

Disposing of a PIL filed by a Sashastra Seema Bal constable, the bench emphasized that even if a film is a work of fiction made for entertainment, its societal impact cannot be ignored.

The petition alleged that the film explicitly details armed forces' tactical procedures and covert drug research by the DRDO, potentially creating security risks.

The Court ordered the concerned authorities to treat the plea as a formal representation and frame necessary guidelines.
