After a grueling five-year legal standoff, Netflix has finally released the long-awaited episode of its investigative docuseries, "Bad Boy Billionaires: India," focusing on B. Ramalinga Raju, the founder of Satyam Computer Services.

The release follows a landmark decision by a Hyderabad court on Tuesday, which vacated the interim stay order that had kept the episode in cold storage since September 2020.

The Final Piece of the Puzzle

When "Bad Boy Billionaires" premiered in 2020, it featured the rise and fall of infamous Indian tycoons like Vijay Mallya, Nirav Modi, and Subrata Roy. However, the episode titled "The Consultant," detailing the ₹7,000 crore accounting fraud at Satyam, was conspicuously missing due to a legal challenge by Ramalinga Raju.

Why was it delayed?

Defamation Concerns: Raju had argued in the Hyderabad City Civil Court that the documentary would tarnish his reputation and prejudice ongoing legal proceedings.

Court Injunction: On September 1, 2020, the court granted an injunction, prohibiting Netflix from streaming the specific segment.

The Turnaround: After years of litigation, the court dismissed the stay, ruling in favor of the streaming giant's right to broadcast the investigative content. Peesafe Natural Intimate Wipes - 10 Count (Pack of 4)
