BCCC awaits Delhi HC verdict on 'Emotional Atyachaar'

NEW DELHI: The Broadcast Content Complaints Council (BCCC) has adjourned hearing on complaints relating to UTV Bindass? reality show Emotional Atyachaar, as the matter is sub judice before Delhi High Court. The Information and Broadcasting Ministry has already given its views to the Court.

Set up by the Indian Broadcasting Foundation (IBF) for general entertainment channels, the BCCC headed by Justice KL Shah had also issued notice to Colors for Khatron Ke Khiladi? on a complaint about cruelty to animals and also heard the Animal Welfare Board. However, it has not finalised its views on this matter.

IBF sources told indiantelevision.com that a complaint was received about a Bengali series on Star Jalsha, which showed excessive cruelty to children and the channel had taken corrective measures.

Similarly, the BCCC has also issued notices to the concerned channels for Ajab Desh Ki Ghazab Kahani with Rakhi Sawant (Imagine TV) and Date Trap (UTV Bindass).

While the last meeting of BCCC had to be put off because of lack of quorum, the next meeting is expected to be held in the last week of September.
