Manohar Mishra aka Swami Shraddhanand today approached the Supreme Court seeking a stay on Amazon Prime’s new crime docuseries ‘Dancing on the Grave’. Swami Shraddhanand is currently serving a jail sentence of 30 years in her murder case. 

Amazon Prime’s new crime docuseries ‘Dancing on the Grave’ narrates the story of Shakereh Khaleeli of the erstwhile royal family of Mysore and her murder. 

Advocate Varun Thakur, counsel for the Shraddhanand mentioned the matter before a bench of Justices KM Joseph and BV Nagarathna for an urgent hearing. He further requested to stop the telecast and distribution of the web series as it prejudices his case pending in the Supreme Court.

The bench said the issue could wait.

Swami Shraddhanand has said that the docuseries ‘adversely affect’ his legal rights.

The web series ‘Dancing on the Grave uses archival footage, news clippings, interviews and dramatisations to showcase the murder of Namazi. It also features Swami Shraddhanand, the murderer who also allegedly killed his own wife.

Shraddhanand has also sent a legal notice sent to the makers of the web series
