The Central Board of Film Certification virtually became a headless body on Saturday with nine more members tendering their resignations to the ministry of Information and Broadcasting Ministry. This was a day after Chairperson Leela Samson resigned on protest. They include Ira Bhaskar, Lora Prabhu, Pankaj Sharma, Rajeev Masand, Sekharbabu Kancherla, Shaji Karun, Shubhra Gupta and T.G.Thyagarajan. Midday has a copy of the letter. In the letter written to the minister the members state and we quote, "we are submitting our resignation from our position as Board Members of the Central Board of Film Certification with immediate effect.’’
