Eros Now ordered by EC to take down web series on Modi

Citing the model code of conduct for the Lok Sabha polls, the Election Commission has directed Eros Now to immediately take down a web series on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and all related contents till further orders.

The EC order said the streaming of five-episode web series, “Modi – Journey of a Common Man”, should be “stopped forthwith”.

After watching the trailer, the EC said, it is apparent that the web series showcases different phases of Modi’s life — from childhood to becoming a national leader.
