Mumbai: Ekta Kapoor’s lawyer has rubbished reports of arrest warrants against the producer and her mother Shobha Kapoor.
PTI reported three days ago that a court in Bihar’s Begusarai had issued arrest warrants against the mother-daughter duo on ‘charges’ of insulting soldiers and hurting sentiments of their family members in her web series, XXX Season 2.
“In the recent past, there have been news articles alleging the issuance of arrest warrants by a Magistrate Court in Begusarai, Bihar, against Ms Ekta Kapoor and Mrs Shobha Kapoor. These news articles which appear to have been made on the basis of alleged statements of the advocate for the individual who has filed the complaint are false and inaccurate as no arrest warrants have been received by Ms Ekta Kapoor or Mrs Shobha Kapoor,” Ekta’s lawyer said in a statement.
Netizens had called out XXX Season 2, a series produced by Ekta and Shobha’s Alt Balaji, in 2020 for allegedly hurting sentiments of Indian army personnel and their families.
Justice Vikas Kumar allegedly issued an arrest warrant against Ekta and Shobha on September 28 on a complaint lodged by Shambhu Kumar, an ex-serviceman and resident of Begusarai, PTI had said.
XXX, an erotic comedy-drama directed by Ken Ghosh, was first released in 2018. The second season was unveiled in 2020.
