After a long break, comedian Kapil Sharma and his team have returned to entertain the audience once again.
The new season of ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’ started on August 21.
Now, after almost a month, the comedy show has landed in legal trouble. According to The Indian Express, an FIR has reportedly been filed against the makers of ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’ in the district court of Shivpuri, Madhya Pradesh, over an episode that was aired on January 19, 2020, and had a repeat telecast on April 24, 2021.
As per the report, the case was filed by a lawyer named Suresh Dhakad against the particular episode, wherein the show’s cast was allegedly shown to be drinking alcohol while performing a courtroom scene.
Reportedly, Dhakad allegedly accused the ‘TKSS’ team of disrespecting the court. As he claimed, the case has been registered against the show’s anchor Kapil Sharma and Sony TV Director MP Singh under the IT Act and Excise Act.
As India Today reported, the lawyer stated, “The Kapil Sharma Show aired on Sony TV is very sloppy. They also make lewd comments on women. In one of the episodes, a court was set up on the stage and the actors were seen drinking alcohol in public. This is contempt of court. That’s why I have demanded registration of FIR against the culprits under Section 356/3 in the court. Such display of sloppiness should be stopped.”
The case will reportedly be heard on October 1. Kapil Sharma is yet to comment on this matter.
The Kapil Shar-hosted show also features Bharti Singh, Archana Puran Singh, Krushna Abhishek, Sudesh Lehri, Kiku Sharda, and Sumona Chakravarti.
