A Bandra court instructed the Mumbai Police to investigate a complaint against Ekta Kapoor for allegedly disrespecting Indian soldiers in a web series episode, requiring a report by May 9.
A criminal case has been filed against Balaji ALT and its director, Ekta Kapoor, for allegedly airing obscene content that violates cultural values and legal standards. The complaint, filed by Uday Maholkar, founder of Save Culture Save Bharat, seeks action under multiple laws, including the POCSO Act, IPC, and IT Act. The court has issued a notice to Delhi Police for failing to register an FIR and directed them to submit an action taken report before the next hearing on March 6, 2025. Advocate Vineet Jindal stressed that the platform’s content undermines societal morals and negatively influences youth, calling for stricter regulation of OTT platforms to ensure adherence to ethical and legal guidelines.
