Bigg Boss OTT season 3 has garnered attention for multiple reasons. However, a recent video of the husband-wife duo
Armaan Malik and Kritika Malik sharing intimate moments has sparked a significant controversy. The video, deemed vulgar by many, has drawn significant attention and led a
Shiv Sena leader to call for Malik's arrest. However, Jio Cinema, the OTT platform streaming the show, has clarified that the video is doctored and that nothing of the sort has happened on the show.
Now, the latest we hear is that Jio Cinema has filed a complaint with the
Cyber Crime unit, requesting an investigation into the matter and the identification of the person responsible for the manipulated video.
ETimes TV has obtained an exclusive copy of the complaint filed by the streaming platform with the Cyber Crime department. Take a look:
Earlier, the spokesperson from Jio Cinema released a official statement regarding the matter, "JioCinema adheres to strict programming standards and guidelines to ensure quality and appropriateness of any content that streams on our platform. Bigg Boss OTT which was streamed on JioCinema did not have any such content. The video clip in circulation is doctored to include obscenity and is fake. We are committed to protecting the integrity of JioCinema and the trust our viewers place in us. The creation and circulation of this fake clip is a matter of very serious concern. Our teams are working towards identifying the origins of this clip and will initiate action against those responsible for creating and distributing such defamatory content against Bigg Boss OTT and JioCinema."
For the uninitiated, Shiv Sena leader Prashant Dighe has been vocal in his criticism, calling for immediate action against Malik and demanding his arrest. The video in question allegedly features Malik in compromising situations, sparking outrage among viewers and activists who argue that such content is inappropriate for public consumption. However, Jio Cinema has clarified that the platform adheres to all the guidelines and video in question is fake.
