Women’s Commission Intervenes After Complaint Over Allegedly ‘Obscene’ Toxic Teaser

Complaint Filed Against Yash’s Toxic Teaser; Women’s Commission Steps In

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Women’s Wing has lodged a formal complaint with the Karnataka State Women’s Commission over the recently released teaser of Yash’s upcoming film, Toxic: A Fairy Tale For Grown-Ups. The complaint, submitted by AAP state secretary Usha Mohan, alleges that the teaser contains objectionable visuals that could negatively affect children’s mental well-being.

AAP leaders stated that the complaint was filed “to safeguard social morality and protect vulnerable sections of society.” The petitioner has requested that the teaser be withdrawn and removed from social media platforms.

In response, the Commission has directed the CBFC to examine the teaser under existing rules and submit a report detailing any action taken.
