Yogi Adityanath Orders FIR Against Manoj Bajpayee's 'Ghooskhor Pandat' Over Caste Insult

• Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath directed an FIR against Netflix and the makers of 'Ghooskhor Pandat' in Lucknow.
• The case was registered at Hazratganj Police Station following allegations of insulting caste identity and disturbing social harmony.
• The controversy stems from the title 'Ghooskhor Pandat', which combines 'ghooskhor' (bribe-taker) with 'Pandat', leading to accusations of casteist stereotyping against the Brahmin community.
• Legal notices, protests in cities like Bhopal, and court petitions, including one in Delhi High Court, seek a stay on the series' release.
• The series stars Manoj Bajpayee as Ajay Dikshit, a corrupt police officer nicknamed 'Pandat', and is directed by Ritesh Shah and presented by Neeraj Pandey.
