Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative (CHRI) has written an open letter urging that Mardaani shouldn't be shown to police officers because the style of policing in the film promotes ‘violent’ and ‘encounter-style’ policing in the name of ‘efficiency’.
Impressed by Rani’s new movie ‘Mardaani, which sees the actress playing a police officer on a mission against trafficking of girls, a top police officer in Bihar had requested district chiefs to arrange shows for all policemen to take inspiration from it for the fight against child trafficking. But CHRI is against it, said a statement. CHRI has written an open letter to Arvind Pandey, CID Inspector General (Weaker Section), Bihar, who instructing his district SPs, GRP SPs and Commandants of Bihar Military Police that Mardaani be shown to all police officers.
The letter reads: ‘No doubt the heroine of Mardaani has certain qualities that every police officer must uphold. Honesty and corruption-free police conduct is what the public look up to police for.
