On Saturday, Police said that an FIR has been registered against producer Ekta Kapoor & others here in Indore for allegedly hurting religious feelings, insulting Army personnel & improper use of the national emblem in the web series 'Triple X season 2'.

Police said that the FIR has been lodged at Annapurna police station under several sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) & IT Act.

"After an initial inquiry, police registered an FIR against Ekta Kapoor for hurting religious sentiments & insulting the national emblem in the web series under several Sections of the IPC & IT Act," Station House Officer (SHO) Satish Dwivedi said.

Neeraj Yagnik, the complainant, said that he lodged a complaint in the matter after watching the objectionable use of the national emblem & the Army uniform in the web series.

Yagnik told the news agency that "in the past few days, a video of an Army officer commenting on the web series is going viral on social media. When I heard about that video, I watched the web series. I found that there were several objectionable things in the web series. It has portrayed the family of Army personnel as "characterless".

He said that the web series sends a "wrong message" to the society & also "demoralises" the Armed forces.

Yagnik added that "The Army uniform & national emblem are also used inappropriately in the web series. It appears as if web series are willing to do anything for money. So, I filed an FIR against the director, producer & writer of the web series".
