6. Aashram
The petition against the web series Aashram, resembling the name of a convicted godman, was filed by a local resident named Khush Khandelwal, the report said. His petition read, “The portrayal of Deol as a Hindu saint has hurt the religious sentiments of Hindus, who respect and worship saints. His portrayal as a rapist, corrupt, and drug dealer has diminished the place saints hold for Hindus.”
Khandelwal had also complained to the police, filing an FIR against director Prakash Jha and actor Bobby Deol. However, the police refused to lodge any case over his complaint. This led him to move to the court of the additional chief judicial magistrate (ACJMM) with the same plea. With the ACJMM too rejecting his plea, Khandelwal had then approached the Jodhpur district and session judge challenging the ACJJM’s previous decision.
7. Ghoul
Ramesh N Solanki struck again with another complaint against another web series. Ghoul is a horror series on Netflix.
Solanki’s complaint explains that the Indian Army is shown as the one killing people who are considered to be radical but who actually aren’t. Custodial killings has been shown as a routine affair by the Army. “One cannot allow an incorrect generalisation based on bogus rhetorics (sic) trying to defame a religious minority i.e. Hindu in countries other than India,” Solanki said in his complaint.
