The Bombay High Court on Tuesday directed the city police not to take any "coercive action" such as arrest against filmmaker Mahesh Manjrekar and two producers for three weeks in a case related to alleged obscene scenes involving minors in the Marathi film "Nay Varan Bhat Loncha Kon Nay Koncha."

The city police earlier this week lodged an FIR against Manjrekar and others under the Protection Of Children From Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
