Alt Balaji, Ektaa Kapoor, and Shobha Kapoor booked under POCSO Act for web series allegedly involving minors in obscene scenes: Reports
The MHB police have registered a case against Alt Balaji Telefilm, its producer Ektaa Kapoor, and Shobha Kapoor under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. Reportedly, the case stems from a Borivali court order, following a complaint filed by Swapnil Rewaji, a yoga instructor from Borivali. The complaint, initially lodged with the MHB police in 2021, alleges that obscene scenes involving minors were filmed in three web series produced by Alt Balaji, including Class of 2017 and Class of 2020.
Obscene Scenes and Allegations
The case, reportedly registered on October 18, 2024, accuses the web series of featuring inappropriate scenes involving minors, including actors dressed in school uniforms engaging in ‘lewd’ acts. The complainant, Swapnil Rewaji, claims that the content in these web series not only objectifies minors but also puts them at risk of harm due to the nature of the filming. As per reports, the FIR states that a minor girl was subjected to obscene filming and lewd communication between February and April 2021.
Legal Charges Filed
Based on the Borivali court’s directive, the MHB police have invoked multiple legal provisions, including Sections 13 and 15 of the POCSO Act, which deal with the use of children for pornographic purposes. Additionally, the case includes charges under Section 67(a) of the Information Technology Prevention Act, Section 292 of the Women Prohibition Act, Sections 293 and 295(a) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), and the Prevention of Cigarette and Tobacco Products Advertisement Act. These charges collectively focus on obscenity, the inappropriate portrayal of minors, and content that could be harmful to children.
Investigation Underway
As of now, the police investigation is ongoing. The authorities are looking into the allegations of obscene filming in the web series produced by Alt Balaji. However, neither Alt Balaji Telefilm nor its producers, Ektaa Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor, have released any official statements regarding the case. The investigation is expected to continue, with more details likely to emerge in the coming weeks.

Kajol shoots action scenes for MahaRagni: Queen of Queens in Hyderabad; film to wrap by October end: Report
Following in the footsteps of Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhatt, and Sharwari, Kajol is set to embark on a thrilling journey as the protagonist of MahaRagni: Queen of Queens. This Pan-India film, helmed by Telugu director Charan Tej Uppalapati, will see Kajol wielding weapons and performing jaw-dropping action sequences.
According to a report in Mid-Day, Kajol’s character, Maya, is a fierce and determined woman who rises from the slums of Dharavi to become a powerful force in Maharashtra. The film, shot in Hindi and dubbed in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada, is a gripping tale of revenge that will keep audiences on the edge of their seats. A major portion of the film was shot in Hyderabad, with the final leg initially planned for Mumbai. However, due to a change in plans, Kajol filmed one of the most intense action sequences on a specially constructed set in Hyderabad.
The makers are keeping the details of this high-octane sequence under wraps to ensure maximum impact. Kajol has undergone rigorous training to master the use of weapons, hand-to-hand combat, and kicks. The sequence is choreographed by Peter Hein, known for his work on the Pushpa franchise and Devara.
German stunt coordinator Florian Hotz, who has worked on acclaimed films like The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes and John Wick: Chapter 4, has also contributed to the film’s action sequences. He has collaborated with Telugu action director Naga Venkat Naga to create thrilling and visually stunning fight scenes.
MahaRagni: Queen of Queens is set to wrap up production by the end of the month.

Salman Khan bolsters security amid rising threats; buys bulletproof car worth Rs. 2 crores from Dubai: Report
Bollywood megastar Salman Khan has taken proactive measures to enhance his personal security following a recent death threat issued by a notorious criminal gang. The threat, issued by associates of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, has escalated tensions surrounding the actor’s safety.
Bishnoi’s gang, known for their involvement in organized crime and their protection of the blackbuck, a species considered sacred by the Bishnoi community, has accused Khan of a role in the illegal hunting of blackbucks. This ongoing dispute has led to a series of threats and intimidation tactics directed at the actor.
As per a Mid-dDay report, in response to the escalating threats, Khan has made significant investments in his personal security. One such measure involves the acquisition of a high-tech, bulletproof vehicle from Dubai. This armoured vehicle, valued at a substantial sum of Rs. 2 crores, is equipped with state-of-the-art safety features designed to protect against a range of potential threats.
The vehicle’s advanced security features include explosive alert systems, reinforced glass capable of withstanding point-blank gunfire, and advanced camouflage technology to conceal the occupants from identification. Given the vehicle’s specialized nature, it was necessary to import it from Dubai as it is not readily available in the Indian market.
This is not the first time Khan has taken such precautions. Last year, he also imported a bulletproof vehicle in response to earlier threats from the same criminal organization.
Despite the heightened security measures, Khan remains committed to his professional obligations. He has continued to fulfill his role as the host of the popular reality television show, Bigg Boss. The production team behind the show has implemented stringent security protocols to ensure Khan’s safety while on set.
Khan’s presence on the Bigg Boss set has been accompanied by a significant increase in security personnel. Guards have been instructed to verify the identification of all individuals entering the compound, and checkpoints have been established to monitor access. Additionally, the production crew has been instructed to remain on-site until the conclusion of each filming session.
