Ms. Leela Samson has resigned as Chairperson of Central Board of Film Certification, CBFC. PTI report says that she resigned after Film Certification Appellate Tribunal (FCAT) cleared the controversial film Messenger of God featuring Dera Saccha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh in lead role. However, there is no official word about the FCAT clearing the film. The Censor Board headed by Ms. Samson had earlier denied the clearance certificate to the film saying that the movie depicts Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh as a God.
