Police have registered an FIR and a case under Sections 295 (A), 153 (A) and 505 (2) of IPC against web series ‘Tandav’ Director Ali Abbas Zafar, Writer Gaurav Solanki and other actors. Earlier, a number of senior office-bearers and members of Hindu Seva Parishad submitted a memorandum, demanding FIR on the artists and Director of the web series in order to vent out ire against portraying of artists as Hindu God and Goddess in alleged objectionable form in the web series ‘Tandav’, . City President of the Parishad, Dheeraj Gyanchandani said, “The web series is being broadcast on an OTT platform. Many a scenes shown in this web series hurt deeply the faith of Hindus.
 
Seeing the scenes, people are feeling humiliated and angry. In the first episode of the web series, the characters are shown improperly dressed and representing Hindu deities speaking in unspecified and ‘low-level’ language. It can provoke and hurt religious feelings.”
 
Gyanchandani said, “The Hindu Seva Parishad will not tolerate any such act. The humiliation of Hindu Gods and Goddesses on the OTT platform has become a trend and it seems that it has been done under a big conspiracy against Hindus. Therefore, the Hindu Seva Parishad has demanded a strong action against the artists and director of the web series for hurting religious sentiments of Hindus and disturbing peace and tranquility in the country.” The Parishad members hae also warned of massive protest if their demand is not fulfilled.
