A petition, filed in the Delhi High Court on Wednesday, seeks the removal of certain content from Sacred Games, a web series by over-the-top media services provider Netflix, on the grounds of insulting former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi. It will come up for hearing today.

It was mentioned before a bench of acting chief justice Gita Mittal and Justice C Hari Shankar but the bench refused to hear the matter and listed it for another bench. The plea filed by lawyer Nikhil Bhalla through advocate Shashank Garg sought the removal of two contents that he maintained "tarnished" the image of the former prime minister.
