BHOPAL: A video purportedly showing the ‘Adults Only’-certified film Dhurandhar being screened for students at a government higher secondary school in Madhya Pradesh’s Maihar district has sparked outrage and prompted an inquiry. The video, allegedly recorded on July 31, shows a scene from the film playing on an LED screen installed in the classroom under a government initiative to improve teaching. Students from various classes can be seen watching the film, while a guest teacher was allegedly present. The clip surfaced on social media on Sunday. Villagers lodged a complaint through the CM Helpline, seeking an inquiry and strict action against those responsible. “The digital board was provided to enhance students’ learning. Using it for obscene, noneducational content is a reckless disregard for the children’s future,” a villager said in the complaint. District education officer Saloni Sharma confirmed that the matter had been brought to her notice. “An investigation will be conducted. Based on the inquiry report, strict disciplinary action will be taken against anyone found responsible,” she said.
