Video-streaming platform Netflix on Saturday denied that it was offering a free six-month subscription as a promotional offer to the first few customers who would call on a number which was linked with supporting CAA and was circulated on social media.
Netflix added humour to the tweet and said, "This is absolutely fake. If you want free Netflix please use someone else’s account like the rest of us."

However, the number which was being circulated was the same as the number which BJP had tweeted from its official handle to garner support for the Citizenship Amendment Act.
