Indian TV shows like Crime Patrol and Savdhaan India to now be censore

Far from abolishing film censorship, the
Ministry Of Information & Broadcasting is
actually considering a more stringent
monitoring agency to channelise and
restrain the free flow of content on the
home-viewing medium.
While the CBFC chief Pahlaj Nihalani refrained
from discussing the I&B's plans to monitor
content on television, he lashed out hard at
what he considers the free flow of muck
into homes.
"Television soaps, reality shows and crime
shows are crossing all limits. Shows like
Crime Patrol and Savdhaan India show the
most gruesome and heinous crimes in
graphic detail. Real-life people are named in
the fictional recreation of crime
stories.Women are raped in incestuous
attacks, housewives and minor girls are
shown to be violated. If the same content
was shown in any film we at the CBFC would
have to clamp down heavily on the content,"
he said.
Nihalani feels restrictions must be imposed
on the inflow of software on television
before it's too late."Why are filmmakers
required to get a new censor certification
for their films to be shown on television
when all the rest of content made specially
for television gets to go on air unchecked?
This free flow of content in television must
stop. It's affecting the natural psychological
development of young minds. Parents are
worried," he said.

Some of those are really horrific

good as it is i never watch these shows..
more than making ppl aware i feel it helps criminals
better equipped how to hide the traces of their crimes..🤢
evilness is like a magnet so this show will attract criminals
more than teaching any good to good ppl

This is ridiculous. The main purpose of crime patrol is to show what happened in real. Ab ye sab censor krne lgy toh there will be nothing left to watch.

Yes plz thank you! Crime Patrol has extremely graphic n disturbing content esp those promos on child abuse airing 24/7..young kids at home might watch them too

If a show is based on real criminal cases then I don't see why it should not be telecasted. People watch and read news anyway. So, it's not like similar cases would not be known. And it is always better to show some real life incidents than just some fictional saas-bahu sagas. The only thing that should be kept in mind is the way these real life incidents are picturized. I agree that the content does not always needs to be very graphical. It can very well be shown in other ways that can tell the story clearly without actually showing a certain scenes. Because unlike films, TV shows do not get certified as adult or pg. So, anyone could be watching the show, including impressionable kids or sensitive people.

Yes these shows need to be censored, almost in all the episode they show so much sex content, boldness, skin show instead of showing the Real story and also I think there are so many episodes which are fictional having nothing to do with true story.. So yes I think the decision is right..

What took them so long? They're only now considering? How long will it take to implement it?...

I second your thoughts. Sometimes they really cross their limits and it's just unbearable to watch.
And like one member has posted they focus on skin show rather than alerting viewers. Its about time they do this.
A few years back i was watching CP but after a certain episode of child abuse and the horrific depiction I never watched it again. Even my mother stopped watching it. It sometimes messes with your brain and heart.
