Web Series Makers Booked Over IPS Officer's Complaint
Imagine a TV show that used a real person's name and made up stories about them without permission.
That's what happened in this case.
A web series called 'Dhahanam' used the name of a former police officer, Anjana Sinha, and claimed certain events in the show were based on her experiences, which she says isn't true.
Now, the people who made the web series are in trouble with the law and have been charged with multiple offences including forgery, defamation and conspiring against the former police officer.
This is like making up a story about someone real and using their name without permission, which is against the law.
A complaint was filed against the makers of the web series 'Dhahanam'.
The complaint alleges unauthorized use of a former IPS officer's name.
The makers are accused of falsely attributing real-life incidents to the officer.
