The Tandav controversy continues over a week after Amazon Prime India and creator-showrunner Ali Abbas Zafar issued an apology and removed the contentious scenes from the political drama.

On Wednesday, the Supreme Court refused to grant interim protection against arrest to Ali, Amazon India creative head Aparna Purohit, producer Himanshu Mehra, actor Mohd Zeeshan Ayyub and writer Gaurav Solanki. Talking to mid-day, senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi, legal counsel to Amazon India and Purohit, said, "I thought we should have got protection like Arnab Goswami did, but we had a positive [outcome] in the [possible] clubbing of the cases."
