Amazon

has
been
facing
a
lot
of
heat
for

The

now
issued
a
fresh

This
comes
in
the
wake
of
the
Allahabad
High
Court
denying
the
anticipatory
bail
plea
of
the
content
chief,
Aparna
Purohit.
For
the
unversed,
the
Amazon
executive
has
been
booked
in
multiple
FIRs
across
the
country
for
hurting
religious
sentiments
in
the
web
series.
Earlier,
showrunner
and
filmmaker
Ali
Abbas
Zafar
had
apologised
in
a
statement
on
behalf
of
the
cast
and
crew
of
the
show.
Amazon
Prime
said
in
a
statement,
“Amazon
Prime
Video
again
deeply
regrets
that
viewers
considered
certain
scenes
to
be
objectionable
in
the
recently
launched
fictional
series
Tandav.
This
was
never
our
intention,
and
the
scenes
that
were
objected
to
were
removed
or
edited
when
they
were
brought
to
our
attention.
We
respect
our
viewers’
diverse
beliefs
and
apologize
unconditionally
to
anyone
who
felt
hurt
by
these
scenes.
The
company
added,
“Our
teams
follow
company
content
evaluation
processes,
which
we
acknowledge
need
to
be
constantly
updated
to
better
serve
our
audiences.
We
will
continue
to
develop
entertaining
content
with
partners,
while
complying
with
the
laws
of
India

of

and
beliefs
of
our
