A
court
in
Bihar’s
Begusarai
district
has
issued
an
arrest
warrant
against
producer
Ekta
Kapoor
and
her
mother
Shobha
Kapoor
with
regards
to
their
ALT
Balaji
web
series
XXX.
The
producer
is
being
charged
for
allegedly
insulting
soldiers
and
hurting
the
sentiments
of
their
family
members
in
the
second
season
of
her
aforementioned
show.
The
complaint
against
Ekta
and
her
mother
was
filed
by
a
Begusarai
resident
and
ex-servicemen
named
Shambhu
Kumar.
According
to
news
agency
PTI,
the
court
of
judge
Vikas
Kumar
issued
the
arrest
warrants.
It
must
be
noted
that
season
two
of
XXX
premiered
in
January
2020
on
ALTBalaji,
which
is
an
OTT
platform
owned
by
Ekta
Kapoor's
TV
company
Balaji
Telefilms.
The
series
is
an
erotic
comedy-drama
that
features
a
different
story
in
each
episode.
Most
of
the
themes
of
the
show
revolve
around
different
aspects
of
sexual
relationships.
The
series,
which
first
came
out
in
2018,
has
been
mired
in
controversies
ever
since
a
complaint
was
filed
against
the
makers
in
2020,
for
allegedly
having
several
objectionable
scenes
related
to
a
soldier’s
wife.
Shambhu
Kumar's
advocate
Hrishikesh
Pathak
also
spoke
with
PTI
and
said
that
the
summons
had
been
issued
and
the
court
has
asked
the
Kapoors
to
appear
before
it
in
connection
with
the
matter.
He
was
quoted
as
saying,
“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.”
