Sushil Ansal Tells Court Uphaar Cinema Fire Series Attacks His Personality

Ansal urged the court to grant an injunction against the release of the web series as even its teaser has got 1.5 million views in four days.

Real estate tycoon Sushil Ansal, convicted in the 1997 Uphaar cinema fire case, Wednesday contended before the Delhi High Court that web series 'Trial by Fire', stated to be based on the incident and scheduled for release on Netflix on January 13, directly attacks his personality.

Ansal urged the court to grant an injunction against the release of the web series as even its teaser has got 1.5 million views in four days which shows the immediate impact it has.

The lawsuit by the 83-year-old Ansal also sought to restrain the circulation and publication of a book titled 'Trial by Fire- The tragic tale of the Uphaar Tragedy'.

Justice Yashwant Varma, after hearing arguments for over one-and-a half-hour, reserved order in the matter.
