Bahraich child welfare committee asks DGP to get ‘Besharam Rang’ song removed from social media

BAHRAICH: The Child Welfare Committee of the district has advised the UP director general of police to get the clippings of Shah Rukh-Deepika Padukone-starrer 'Pathaan' song ‘Besharam Rang’, and other obscene contents, removed from the social media as it was having a ‘detrimental impact on the psyche of adolescents'.
Using the powers given under Section 30 (xii) of Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act 2015, the Child Welfare Committee, Bahraich (bench of magistrate), wrote to the DGP on December 31 that it has taken a suo moto cognizance of obscene contents, including the 'Besharam Rang' song, being circulated on social media.
In the letter sent to the DGP, Bahraich CWC President Satish Kumar Srivastava and four-member bench consisting of Deepmala Pradhan, Archana Pandey and Navneet Mishra has said that smart mobile phones had been provided to the teenagers by the Uttar Pradesh government for their all-round development and they cannot be stopped from watching easily available contents.
In such a situation, it is necessary in their best interest that obscene contents should be removed from social media, the letter says.
