The apex child rights body NCPCR has asked Netflix to stop streaming ‘Bombay Begums’ citing inappropriate portrayal of children in the web series. In a notice to Netflix on Thursday, the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) has asked the OTT platform to furnish a detailed action report within 24 hours, failing which it said it will be constrained to initiate appropriate legal action. Objecting to the alleged inappropriate portrayal of children in the series, the commission said this type of content will not only pollute the young minds but may also result in abuse and exploitation of children. The commission took action based on a complaint which alleged that the series normalises minors indulging in casual sex and drug abuse.
