Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narrotam Mishra has also reacted and asked police authorities to look into it.
BJP leader Gaurav Goel also tweeted in support of ‘Boycott Netflix’.
“If any OTT platform is deliberately insulting the Hindu Gods & Goddess, pls file the complaint with the police or local court under Section 295A of IPC. The law will take care of such offenders,” he tweeted.
