Complaint filed by MP lawyer
A lawyer from Shivpuri city in Madhya Pradesh filed the FIR. He alleged that the show disrespected courts in one of its episode. A character of the show was shown drinking on the stage while performing a courtroom scene. The episode aired on January 19, 2020, but had a repeat telecast in April this year.
The lawyer alleged that, “The Kapil Sharma Show 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.”
