The complainant has said in his complaint that a case has been registered for presenting obscene scenes by minor actors in the sequel of Balaji Telefilms’ web series ‘Gandi Baat’. He says that his religious sentiments have been hurt by the series. The FIR lodged states that an objection has been raised to the production of bold content by children of the 11th and 12th class in the series, who are usually 16, or 17 years old. However, this complaint filed by the complainant is from a very technical point of view because the age of the actors acting can be much higher.
