The Delhi High Court on Tuesday sought the response of the Centre and web series producers on a plea by the wife of slain gangster Vikas Dubey to stop the release and streaming of UP 77, which she claimed is based on his life. The web series is scheduled to be released on the Waves OTT platform on December 25.
Richa Dubey's plea was mentioned before a bench headed by Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya, seeking an urgent listing. The bench allowed it to be listed during the day itself. Justice Sachin Datta issued notice on Richa Dubey's petition.
During the hearing, the counsel for petitioner Richa Dubey said she recently came to know about the web series, which, she claimed, is based on her personal life as well as on the life of her deceased husband.
When asked by the judge how the petitioner knew that the web series was based on her husband, the lawyer stated that the pictures and visuals uploaded on social media were of the alleged encounter incident, which made it clear that it was about Dubey.
