Censor Board Chief Arrested by CBI Allegedly For Taking Bribe

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) today arrested Censor Board chief Rakesh Kumar for allegedly demanding Rs. 70,000 from an agent to clear a regional film.

Mr Kumar was questioned by the CBI and found him guilty of taking the bribe, sources in the agency said. The CBI had last week arrested an agent and advisory panel member in connection with the case.

Sources said an authorised agent for censor certification had approached the CBI alleging that another agent Shripati Mishra has been demanding Rs. 70,000 on behalf of Mr Kumar for issuing the censor certificate for regional language film from Chhattisgarh "Mor Dauki Ke Bihav".

After getting the complaint, the CBI laid a trap at to catch the suspects red handed, said sources.

Sources also said that producers of the film wanted an urgent certificate as the date of the release of movie was on August 15.

Now what would his daughter say on her dad's 'shuddh desi aachar'?

^^^Who is his daughter?
Btw I guess this explains preferential treatment to influential filmmakers.

^^^An ex-employee of Railways? The previous one was a Customs officer? What is the criteria for choosing the censor board chief?

No wonder CB gives a hard time to Indie filmmakers.
