CBFC denies role in ‘Jana Nayagan’ leak, calls claims baseless

The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has dismissed claims that the Tamil film "Jana Nayagan" was leaked from its system as baseless and misleading. The board asserts that its certification process follows a secure, access-controlled protocol, with films secured through a Key Delivery Message (KDM) mechanism and password-protected access strictly controlled by the producer or filmmaker. The DCP of the film was formally handed over to the applicant and has remained with them since.
