Ekta, mother called to court in POCSO case

Mumbai cops ask duo to appear for questioning today in relation over alleged portrayal of minor girls in web series

Filmmaker Ekta Kapoor and her mother, Shobha Kapoor, have been asked to appear before Mumbai Police on October 24 in connection with a POCSO case registered against them over the alleged obscene portrayal of minor girls during a web series, an official said.

A case was registered against the mother-daughter duo last week on a court's order and a notice had been issued to them to face the investigation. They were asked to appear before the police on Thursday, an official said.

ALT Digital Media Entertainment Ltd, meanwhile, stated that any references to the engagement of minors by the company are incorrect.
