The EC order said the streaming of five-episode web series, "Modi - Journey of a Common Man", should be "stopped forthwith" (Prem Singh)Citing the model code of conduct for the Lok Sabha polls, the Election Commission on Saturday directed Eros Now to immediately take down a web series on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and all related contents till further orders. The EC order said the streaming of five-episode web series, "Modi - Journey of a Common Man", should be "stopped forthwith". After watching the trailer, the EC said, it is apparent that the web series showcases different phases of Modi's life -- from childhood to becoming a national leader. "In view of the above, you are hereby directed to stop forthwith the online streaming and remove all connected contents of the web series till further orders," it told Eros Now. Earlier, the producers of the biopic "PM Narendra Modi" approached the Supreme Court challenging the EC stay.
