The three-member team headed by the Director General of Registrar of Newspapers for India (RNI) will submit a report to the Information and Broadcasting Ministry after carefully gauging the situation at the institute.

Academic activity in FTII is at a standstill with the students' adamant on their demand that BJP member and TV actor Gajendra Chauhan should be removed as the institute's chairman.
