Ektaa Kapoor’s lawyer dismisses reports of arrest warrants against her and mother Shobha, issues a statement

Ektaa Kapoor’s lawyer has issued a statement regarding the alleged arrest warrant against her and her mother Shobha Kapoor on charges of insulting soldiers and hurting sentiments of their families in her web series ‘XXX’. Ektaa’s lawyer has denied receiving any arrest warrant against the mother-daughter duo.

The lawyer’s statement read, “In the recent past, there have been news articles alleging the issuance of arrest warrants by a Magistrate Court in Begusarai, Bihar against Ms Ekta Kapoor and Mrs Shobha Kapoor.”

It added, “These news articles which appear to have been made on the basis of alleged statements of the advocate for the individual who has filed the complaint are false and inaccurate as no arrest warrants have been received by Ms Ekta Kapoor or Mrs Shobha Kapoor.”

A few days ago, an arrest warrant against Ektaa and her mother was issued by judge Vikas Kumar on the basis of a complaint lodged by Shambhu Kumar. Speaking to PTI, Shambhu’s advocate Hrishikesh Pathak had said, “The series (XXX) was aired on ALTBalaji, an OTT platform owned by Ekta Kapoor’s Balaji’s Ltd. Shobha Kapoor is also associated with Balaji Telefilms. The court has issued summons to them and asked them to appear before it in connection with the matter.”

He added, “They (Ektaa and Shobha Kapoor), however, informed the court that certain scenes in the series were removed after the objection. But they did not appear before the court following which the warrant was issued against them.”

XXX’s first season was released in 2018, and its second season was released in January 2020.
