Tandav: Allahabad HC stays arrest of Amazon Prime Video’s Aparna Purohit

The Allahabad High Court on Thursday ordered no coercive action against Amazon Prime Video’s India Originals head Aparna Purohit, facing an FIR for the alleged derogatory depiction of Hindu deities in web series Tandav.

A bench of Justice Sidharth granted a temporary reprieve to Purohit against the arrest while reserving its verdict on her anticipatory bail plea.
