Later, the Uttar Pradesh police have filed a case against the makers and the streaming service over alleged insult to Hindu gods and a top aide warning of arrests, reports NDTV.

"There is no tolerance for playing with people's sentiments in Yogi Adityanath's Uttar Pradesh. A serious case has been registered against the entire team of Tandav, which is spreading hate in the guise of cheap web series. Prepare for arrest," Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's media adviser Shalabh Mani Tripathi wrote on Twitter in Hindi.

"People dressed up in a very bad manner to represent Hindu gods and goddesses and have been shown to speak in a very uncalled for language... that hurts religious sentiments". - A part of the complaint read.

In the same episode there are "conversations that lead to caste conflict, there are similar scenes in many other episodes. In the web series, the character of the person occupying the high post of India's Prime Minister has been shown in a very indecent manner... The series depicts lower and higher castes and scenes that insult women, and the intent... seems to be to hurt religious feelings of one community and to spread conflict", the complaint further reads.
