The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) Chairman, Prasoon Joshi, on Wednesday said processes would be further strengthened at the organisational level to eliminate any third-party interference, in the wake of corruption allegation made by actor-producer Vishal.
Mr. Joshi clarified that the persons mentioned by the complainant were not CBFC officials, but “unauthorised third-party intermediaries”. “However, immediate cognisance of the feedback has been taken, and the issue is being investigated with immense gravity. We will get to the root of this, and strict action will be taken accordingly,” he said.
The Information and Broadcasting Ministry has already deputed a senior official to conduct an inquiry.
