The trailer of the Hindi film “The Diary of West Bengal” created controversy as soon as it was released. Noted filmmaker Sanoj Mishra is serving as both the writer and director of the film. West Bengal Police has issued a legal notice to the director following allegations of trying to defame Bengal through the film. The film is currently at the center of attention due to the furore surrounding it.
Director Sanoj Mishra has been summoned by the Kolkata Police for questioning in a case registered against his film ‘The Diary of West Bengal’. He has been asked to appear before the police for questioning on May 30.
According to police sources, a written complaint was lodged against the film at Kolkata’s Amherst Street police station in May. A case was registered on the basis of the complaint, which alleged that the film tried to defame West Bengal. The legal notice issued to Mishra states that “there are reasonable grounds to interrogate the director of the film to ascertain the facts and circumstances of the matter”. However, Mishra said the case was filed to “harass” him.
In its trailer, the film claimed that “mass killings, rapes and Hindu exodus” were taking place in West Bengal. It was also said that Bengal is the new Kashmir of India.
Film director Sanoj Mishra said that his film is based on facts. He said that the law and order situation in West Bengal is an issue.
