MP HC declines to quash FIR against Ekta Kapoor over web series

The Madhya Pradesh High Court bench has dismissed a petition of TV producer Ekta Kapoor seeking that a case filed against her for alleged objectionable content in web series “XXX season 2” be quashed.

However, the Indore bench, in its 65-page verdict delivered on Wednesday, observed that the provision of the IPC section dealing with hurting religious feelings was not found to have been breached by the defendant.

Five months ago, an FIR was registered against Kapoor following a complaint alleging that the web series, aired on her OTT platform ALTBalaji, not only spreads obscenity, but also hurts religious feelings.
