Netflix releases three episodes of ‘Bad Boy Billionaires’ amid legal row

American streaming service Netflix has released three episodes of its four-part controversial documentary web series Bad Boy Billionaires: India in the midst of a legal row. A Reuters report said the show about the country’s prominent entrepreneurs, liquor tycoon Vijay Mallya, Subrata Roy of the Sahara group, IT executive Ramalinga Raju and jeweller Nirav Modi that had been set for release last month, was suspended after an order from the Araria district court in the eastern Bihar state, where the Sahara group argued it would damage Roy’s reputation.

“The court lifted this injunction on Saturday, Amit Shrivastava, a lawyer for Netflix said. Shrivastava declined further comment and it was not immediately clear why the court had overturned its previous order,” the report added.

Sahara had said in a statement that the documentary was “misleading”, and that it was “depicted through some disgruntled people who hold personal grudges against Sahara”.
