Kunal Khemu-starrer Abhay 2, a webseries on OTT platform ZEE5, has allegedly portrayed freedom fighter Khudiram Bose as a “criminal” in one of its scenes which stoked a massive controversy
It began when some viewers spotted Bose’s image on a police station criminal board in the scene in an episode titled “One-legged Skeleton”
Netizens were quick to react and pointed out how disrespectful it feels after seeing such a legendary freedom fighter being shown as a petty criminal.
What the hell is wrong with you? @ZEE5Premium @ZEE5APAC How dare you put picture of a freedom fighter who gave his life for his country on a criminal board? @ibfindia please look into the matter. This is a matter of grave concern and is disrespectful to the country. #boycottzee5 pic.twitter.com/zqIFIFQgFt
