An FIR has been filed against the makers of The Kapil Sharma Show for showing actors consuming alcohol during a courtroom scene on the show. The complainant has accused the makers of disrespecting the court.
Reportedly, the case was filed in the Shivpuri district and sessions Court in Madhya Pradesh by a lawyer named Suresh Dhakad. He claimed that the episode had objectionable scenes and was aired on April 21 on Sony TV.
The case has been registered against the show host Kapil Sharma and Sony TV Director MP Singh under the OT Act and Excise Act. The matter will be heard on October 1.
"In the courtroom scene, the co-star comes onstage with a bottle of liquor and urges other people to taste it. This scene outrages the dignity of the court. It should have also featured a statutory warning, which it did not," the lawyer told reporters. He said that earlier too the comedy show had aired offensive content like passing lewd comments about women.
