NHRC has directed Information and Broadcasting Ministry to inquire into allegations against actor Manoj Bajpayee's upcoming movie 'Ghooskhor Pandat'. The move is facing backlash over its title, with several social media users calling it "casteist". "Such titles...that target caste and community, apart from criticising and ridiculing, also shame the community," NHRC member Priyank Kanoongo said.
