Censor Board orders singer Mihir Joshi to beep out the word 'Bombay' from his song

If the recent decision taken by Central Board of Film Certification is anything to go by then the word 'Bombay' needs to be beeped out from a song.

The decision was earlier taken by the censor board examining committee under former chief Leela Samson. Censor Board had taken exception to Joshi's track, 'Sorry' referring to Mumbai by its old name Bombay.

Singer Mihir Joshi says his track, 'Sorry', written in the aftermath of the Delhi gang rape case, and puts forth the issue of women safety. He said he is a Maharashtrian himself and is well aware of the meaning and significance of Bombay and Mumbai.

The song about womens' safety was released on the internet a few months back, and became a popular hit after which a music video was planned.
