A petition has been filed in the Delhi High Court calling for the deletion of certain scenes from the Netflix TV series Sacred Games..The petition has been filed by advocate Nikhil Bhalla and the matter was mentioned today before Acting Chief Justice Gita Mittal and Justice C. Hari Shankar by Advocates Shashank Garg and Tariq Khan..Justice Gita Mittal recused herself without giving any reason. The matter will now be heard tomorrow by a different bench..The main gripe of the petitioner is that the show contains scenes wherein derogatory language has purportedly been used against former Prime Minister of India Rajiv Gandhi. It is prayed that these scenes be deleted..The scene in question features the narrator referring to Gandhi as a ‘Fattu’ (coward)..Earlier, a Congress party worker had filed a complaint against Netflix, Nawazuddin Siddiqui (who stars in Sacred Games) and the producers of the show..Image taken from here.
