Ekta Kapoor, mom Shobha receive arrest warrant for web series ‘XXX’

The arrest warrants were issued against the mother-daughter duo on charges of insulting soldiers and hurting the sentiments of their family members in the web series, news agency PTI reported.

The warrants were issued by judge Vikas Kumar on the basis of a complaint lodged by on Shambhu Kumar.

Kumar, an ex-serviceman and a resident of Begusarai, said in his complaint in 2020, that the web series had several objectionable scenes related to a soldier’s wife.

Speaking to PTI, Kumar’s advocate Hrishikesh Pathak said summons had been issued and the court asked the Kapoors to appear before it in connection with the matter.

“They (Ekta and Shobha Kapoor), however, informed the court that certain scenes in the series were removed after the objection. But they did not appear before the court following which the warrant was issued against them,” Pathak said.
