Trouble for Rohan Sippy's upcoming film ‘Dum Maro Dum' is deepening with the Goa State Women's Commission (GSWC) has joined the bandwagon demanding ban on the movie for projecting Goan women in ‘obscene' manner.

The commission on Friday filed a complaint with the women's police station demanding action against the filmmakers even as it will conduct a parallel inquiry.

GSWC chairperson Ezilda Sapeco said that the commission is relying on the promos shown on television, which are ‘defamatory and has obscene depiction of Goa and Goa women'.

"The commission has taken serious note of the same and there is already a public outcry, which might provoke breach of peace.

We therefore request the police to investigate in the matter and take action against all persons responsible in the matter of the preparation, filming, display and the relay of the promos," Sapeco said.

GSWC officials also convened a meeting with Chief Minister Digambar Kamat and Home Minister Ravi Naik, requesting to intervene in the matter.

The movie is already embroiled in controversy as the state has got together protesting against the movie which showcases Goa as a hub of sex, drugs, prostitution and easy availability of women.

A media professional, Savio Rodrigues filed a petition in the High Court seeking a permanent ban on the movie stating the wrong portrayal might attract sex offenders, drug dealers and criminals to Goa.

"The government is aware of the movie and we have already instructed the police to investigate it," Kamat assured the commission officials.

The issue was recently raised by the former Tourism Minister Francisco Pacheco in the state legislative assembly arguing that the movie will further dent the image of the state. Tourism Minister Nilkant Halankar had also voiced concern over the wrong depiction of Goa and assured to deliberate at the higher level.
