Netflix gets notice from top child rights body for ‘wrongful’ depiction of kids in ‘Bombay Begum’

NEW DELHI: The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights on Thursday issued a notice to OTT platform Netflix for the ‘wrongful’ depiction of kids in the web series “Bombay Begum” and asked it to submit an action taken report within 24 hours.

The Commission has taken strong exception to a minor having been shown taking cocaine at a party in a scene.

In a two-page notice, the Commission has said that “from normalization casual sex by minors, web series are now normalising the use of drugs”.

The notice follows complaints received by the Commission from two Twitter handles.
