Against the backdrop of allegations over leak of ‘Udta Punjab’ movie print, the Information and Broad-casting Ministry has rushed a senior official to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) office in Mumbai. Sources said Joint secretary (films) Sanjay Murthy is in Mumbai and has visited the office of CBFC, also known as censor board.

There have been allegations that the censor board’s copy of the movie prints may have been leaked. The ministry has been watching these developments, officials said. The movie has been the subject of a string of controversies including over cuts suggested in it by the censor board.
