PRIME MINISTER’S OFFICE ORDERS ACTION IN THE DEATH CASE OF WEST BENGAL ACTOR RAHUL ARUNODOY BANERJEE
Acting on the representation submitted by the All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA) President Suresh Shyamlal Gupta, the Prime Minister’s Office has taken cognizance of the tragic death of West Bengal actor Rahul Arunodoy Banerjee and directed the Odisha Chief Minister’s Office and the Chief Secretary of Odisha to examine the matter and take appropriate action.
AICWA had demanded a Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe into the incident and strict enforcement of safety regulations after Rahul Arunodoy Banerjee lost his life during the shooting of the television serial “Bhole Baba Paar Karega”.
AICWA has alleged that serious safety violations and negligence on the set contributed to the tragic incident. The association has demanded registration of an FIR and strict legal action against producer Leena Gangopadhyay, production house Magic Moments Motion Pictures, including Saibal Banerjee, and all other persons connected with the production.
Following the directions issued through the official grievance mechanism, the matter was forwarded by the Odisha Government to the Superintendent of Police, Balasore, for necessary action and investigation.
AICWA further states that strict action in this case is necessary to ensure that no producer, production house, broadcaster, or any other entity dares to commence shooting activities in the future without implementing mandatory safety measures. The Association believes that the lives of workers, technicians, junior artists, and actors cannot be put at risk due to negligence or disregard for safety regulations.
AICWA has therefore urged the authorities to conduct a thorough investigation into the role of producer Leena Gangopadhyay, Magic Moments Motion Pictures, including Saibal Banerjee, and all other persons connected with the production. The Association has specifically demanded that murder charges and all other applicable criminal provisions be invoked against producer Leena Gangopadhyay, Magic Moments Motion Pictures, including Saibal Banerjee, and all other persons connected with the production, and that strict legal action be taken against them. AICWA has further demanded that Magic Moments Motion Pictures be blacklisted and barred from future productions, so that such tragedies are not repeated in the Indian film and television industry.
AICWA continues to demand a high-level SIT investigation, accountability of all responsible persons, and strict implementation of safety regulations across the Indian film and television industry.
Justice for Rahul Arunodoy Banerjee cannot be delayed. Those responsible for safety violations must be held accountable under the law.
NO WORKER, TECHNICIAN OR ARTIST SHOULD LOSE HIS OR HER LIFE DUE TO NEGLIGENCE ON A SHOOTING SET.
