'Mirzapur' Web-series Comes Under Scanner; BJP MP Demands Strict Action

After 'Tandav', another web-series 'Mirzapur' has come under political scanner after BJP MP Vinod Sonkar has demanded strict action against its makers for slandering the region's image. The Kaushambi (UP) MP said Mirzapur, adjacent to Varanasi and famous for its globally-known carpet business and Maa Vindhyavasini Shaktipeeth, has been tainted by its projection as an illegal weapon market. Moreover, asking to penalize the makers, Sonkar said the fines should be used to develop the city.
