Temple Kissing Scenes Stir Trouble For Netflix India

An FIR was registered in Madhya Pradesh today against two executives of streaming platform Netflix for allegedly hurting religious sentiments through its web series "A Suitable Boy" which showed kissing scenes allegedly on the campus of a temple, an official said.

The FIR has named Monika Shergill, Vice President, Content (Netflix) and Ambika Khurana, Director, Public Policies (Netflix), Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra said.

They are charged by Rewa police on a complaint filed by Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) national secretary Gaurav Tiwari who demanded apology from Netflix and makers of the series, and removal of "objectionable scenes", which he stated were also "encouraging love jihad".
