The Allahabad High Court on Thursday rejected the anticipatory bail plea filed by the head of Amazon Prime Video’s India Originals Aparna Purohit, who has been accused of the inappropriate depiction of Uttar Pradesh police personnel, Hindu deities, and an adverse portrayal of a character playing the prime minister in the web series “Tandav”. While rejecting the application, a single-judge bench of Justice Sidharth said that the applicant was earlier granted interim protection from arrest by another bench in a similar case but she was not cooperating with the investigation. The court observed, “Western filmmakers have refrained from ridiculing Lord Jesus or the Prophet but Hindi filmmakers have done this repeatedly and are still doing this most unabashedly with Hindu gods and goddesses.”
