Sub. : Request for inquiry to check the veracity of tweet dated
04-01-15 of UP CM office by bringing UFO Moviez, ClubXpremieres,
Producers/ Directors /Distributors of Film ‘PK’ into the ambit of the
inquiry.


Sir,
Please refer to my complaint dated 02-01-15 & 04-01-15 which were sent
to you through e-mail. In this connection I wish to add that Office of
Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh has dismissed all allegations against
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav  for having ‘downloaded
pirated version’ of PK. In this regard, office of CM UP has tweeted on
04-01-15 (Sunday) which is available at URL
https://twitter.com/CMOfficeUP/status/551701660381085698/photo/1 .
Screenshot of tweet of UP CM office is also attached.



By this tweet, Office of UP CM has issued a clarification saying that
the movie was specially screened for the CM at his residence through a
‘premium screening facility’.

“The screening of PK was done on Club X Media Server installed at Mr
Akhilesh Yadav’s residence,” the official Twitter handle of UP Chief
Minister’s office _@CMOfficeUP has said on Twitter.


Elaborating further on this, the CMO stated: “Club X service enables
authorised private screenings of movies at Club X licensed auditorium
of its members. Movies can be screened from the date of their
theatrical release in India. Movies are delivered to the Club X Media
Servers over a captive satellite network or are physically delivered
and are stored in a digitally encrypted form. A licence is required to
playback the movie each time and is issued based upon the
authorisation received from the content owners.”


It further says, “This screening was done with a licence that was
issued for this screening. Assumptions about downloading of a movie
over the Internet and any unauthorised use are baseless. More
information about this service can be found on their website
www.clubxpremieres.com


As per website www.clubxpremieres.com, Club X is an Ultra Exclusive
Luxury Entertainment service. Membership to Club X is strictly against
an Invitation or through an introduction by an existing member. All
existing Club X members represent the cream of India’s Uber HNI’s.
They come from diverse backgrounds ranging from Industrialists, Large
Corporate CEO’s, Prominent Sports & Film personalities and eminent
politicians. Prime Movie Premieres @ Member's Private Theatre is a
service in which Club X members get access to prime movie content on
the 1st day 1st show basis. These movies can be screened any time from
the date of release as per their convenience at their private
theatres. It is truly one of its kind service in the world at the
moment.


When I searched the website www.clubxpremieres.com under ‘Recent
Releases’ URL http://www.clubxpremieres.com/recent_releases.html , I
could not find ‘PK’ in their list of recent releases. This is casting
doubt on veracity of statement of CM office of UP with regard to
screening of film ‘PK’ on club X media. Moreover, there is no
clarification from any of the ClubXpremieres, UFO Moviez or Producers/
Directors /Distributers of the film as to whether film ‘PK’ was made
available to UFO moviez and/or  ClubXpremieres for screening it in
residence of UP CM.


Moreover, Right from the beginning, UP government is not at all
transparent in this matter and its behavior is dubious. First, CM
Akhilesh Yadav himself admitted openly before media that he downloaded
the film ‘PK’ and watched it. In its first tweet, UP Chief Minister
Office’s Twitter handle clarified that “UP CM Akhilesh Yadav has
licensed UFO Movies digifacility to download and watch movies.
Controversy around pirated download is unwarranted.” (Screenshot of
this tweet of UP CM office is also attached )
 
 and now this second
tweet has come out but till date neither the UP CM office has put the
actual contract/agreement papers  of contracts/agreements made amongst
UP Government, UFO Moviez, ClubXpremieres and Producers/ Directors
/Distributers of Film ‘PK’ & letters written by Govt. of UP for
screening of ‘PK’ for CM  in public domain nor has any of the
ClubXpremieres, UFO Moviez or Producers/ Directors /Distributers of
the film ‘PK’ had come out to clarify as to whether film ‘PK’ was made
available to UFO moviez and/or  ClubXpremieres for screening it in
residence of UP CM.
.


Hence,I am hereby sending abovementioned additional inputs with a
request for an additional inquiry to check the veracity of tweet dated
04-01-15 of UP CM office by bringing UFO Moviez, ClubXpremieres,
Producers/Directors/Distributers of Film ‘PK’ into the ambit of the
inquiry in connection with my requests dated 02-01-15 & 04-01-15 in
the matter of UP Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav and others having
downloaded the film ‘PK’ from a website , thus watching a pirated copy
of film and take subsequent punitive actions against all the
defaulters as per the law of the land.

Regards.
