 The reason why legalities of India got involved

Although the show is doing impeccably good in India, this dark crime drama series by Netflix is a bit out of line as per India’s Censor Board. On the grounds of the show consisting of violence, obscene language, sex scenes, and even smoking scenes without warning, Netflix has been issued the notice from the legal team. The scene where Nawazuddin Siddiqui insulted the former Prime minister “Rajiv Gandhi” led Mr Rajiv Kumar Sinha, an opposition Congress Party politician from Kolkata lodged a police complaint against Netflix.
The scene disrespecting Rajiv Gandhi have started the war among the two Indian Political parties – BJP and Congress Party. The real question here is whether this is a serious crime for a fictional character to be in the character and insult former PM or not?
