The court has already issued summons to the accused/ defendants for their appearance and submitting defendants' reply/evidence.Earlier Sahara has strongly reacted on the Netflix series "Bad Boy Billionaires" and said it is completely baseless which is way beyond the facts. "Just to gain commercial benefits, Netflix have created an ill-conceived, spiced up commercial film full of sensationalism with the title 'Bad Boy Billionaires' at the cost of the image of Sahara Group which is unacceptable and highly objectionable," it said.Sahara said: "A bare look of the documentary indicates that in their lust of making the documentary spicier and rhetoric, all the accused have wilfully connived and attempted to portray the Chairman of Sahara Group in bad taste, without their being any credible material evidence against him."Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
