The FIR has been filed on Arvind Chaturvedi’s complaint at Mirzapur Kotwali (Dehat) police station. A report in Indian Express has quoted SP of Mirzapur, Ajay Kumar, saying, “Arvind Chaturvedi alleged that the web series, Mirzapur 2 has shown abusive content and illicit relations. Thus, based on the complaint, an FIR has been registered against producers and the platform.”

The second season of Mirzapur had premiered on the streaming platform in October last year. It revolves around Pankaj Tripathi who plays a local don named Kaleen Bhaiya and how his criminal empire takes the hit when Guddu Pandit (Ali Fazal) vows to avenge the death of his family members at the hands of Kaleen Bhaiya’s son and heir Munna.

Mirzapur 2 was one such series which got fans excited even before its release. Well, not to forget the audience even loved it. But, the fact that the town Mirzapur was not shown in a good light irked many.
