The Election Commission of India on Saturday (Apr 20) banned online streaming of the web series 'Modi: Journey of a Common man', stating that no biopic material which can disturb the level playing field during the Lok Sabha elections cannot be displayed, reports Mumbai Mirror.

The EC referred to its order on Apr 10 that banned a biopic on PM Modi from releasing in election season to stop streaming service Eros Now from streaming the web series, “Modi - Journey of a Common Man”.

“...In view of the admitted facts and material available on record, this web series being an original web series on Shri Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister and a political leader and a prospective candidate in the current general elections to the Lok Sabha, cannot be exhibited,” the Election Commission said in a letter to Eros Now.

The web series; 'Modi: Journey of a Common man', was launched on the OTT medium earlier this month-just days before the election.
