Mumbai crime news: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has launched an investigation into a case involving three private individuals and unnamed public servants of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) in Mumbai. The investigation stems from a complaint filed alleging a conspiracy to obtain a bribe of Rs 7,00,000 in exchange for securing a censor certificate from the CBFC for a Hindi-dubbed movie.

According to the complaint, the conspiracy unfolded during the month of September 2023, when a private individual is believed to have colluded with others to facilitate the issuance of a censor certificate for a movie dubbed in Hindi. The CBI has acted to address these allegations of corruption within the CBFC, a regulatory body responsible for certifying films for public exhibition.
