Sahara Group warns of legal action against makers after Scam 2010: The Subrata Roy Saga announcement: ‘An abusive act has been demonstrated….’

The statement added that the dispute between SEBI and Sahara is still pending in the Supreme Court and any attempt to influence the proceedings would attract ‘contempt of court’. The statement further read, “In the garb of a right of free speech and expression, no one can be allowed to undermine the goodwill and reputation of a person, who is not available to defend himself.”

The statement also touched upon the word ‘scam’. “The use of the word ‘scam’ in the title of the so-called web-series and linking it to Sahara seems prima-facie defamatory, and tends to lower down the image and reputation of Saharasri Ji and Sahara India Pariwar. Sahara India Pariwar has never been involved in any chit fund activity. Even the Sahara-SEBI issue was a dispute on the SEBI’s jurisdiction on OFCD bonds issued by Sahara.”

Scam 2010: The Subrata Roy Saga is based on the book titled Sahara: the Untold Story by Tamal Bandyopadhyay. Scam 2010 is the third show in a series about Indian financial scandals, following Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story and Scam 2003: The Telgi Story.
