Delhi HC dismisses plea by Mehul seeking preview of show ‘Bad Boy Billionaires’

Delhi High Court dismissed a plea by Mehul Choksi seeking a preview of Netflix’s web series Bad Boy Billionaires before its release. The series will be release on September 2.

Vijay Aggarwal, Choksi’s lawyer had argued that series can manipulate the ongoing investigation against his nephew Nirav Modi. However, both Choksi and Modi are accused in fraud case, that is duping the Punjab National Bank of more than Rs 13,000 crore.

The High Court stated that the streaming platform has no regulation to regulate the content.
