Sameer Wankhede sues Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies for ₹2 crore over Netflix show ‘The Ba***ds Of Bollywood’
Sameer Wankhede alleges the series falsely maligns his reputation and undermines public trust in anti-drug agencies, seeking Rs 2 crore in damages to donate to cancer patients.
- On Thursday, Sameer Wankhede filed a defamation suit in the Delhi High Court against Red Chillies Entertainment Pvt Ltd and Netflix, seeking a permanent injunction, declaration, and damages.
- The 2021 Cordelia cruise raid, led by Wankhede, resulted in Aryan Khan’s arrest, dramatized in The Ba***ds of Bollywood, which premiered on September 18.
- A scene in the first episode depicts the national motto 'Satyamev Jayate' followed by a character raising a middle finger, which Sameer Wankhede says breaches the Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act, 1971.
- The Delhi High Court will hear on Friday as Wankhede seeks Rs 2 crore in damages to be donated to Tata Memorial Cancer Hospital and orders to restrain streaming of The Ba***ds of Bollywood.
- Wankhede says the portrayal is prejudicial as related cases remain sub-judice before the Bombay High Court and NDPS Special Court, Mumbai; meanwhile, the Central Bureau of Investigation booked him under IPC sections 120-B and 388, which he denies.
