the email was reportedly sent by new delhi’s foreigners regional registration office (frro), an authority under the ministry of home affairs, to nandini mehta, the us streaming company’s former director of business and legal affairs for india. it notes that the indian government has “visa and tax violations concerns” regarding netflix operations in the country.

据报道,这封电子邮件是由新德里的外国人区域注册办公室(frro)发出的,该办公室隶属于内政部,发给了nandini mehta,netflix在印度的前商业和法律事务总监。邮件中提到,印度政府对netflix在该国的运营存在“签证和税务违规”问题。

“we have received certain details in this regard with respect to the stated company’s conduct, visa violation, illegal structures, tax evasion and other malpractices including incidents of racial discrimination that the company has been engaged in while conducting its business in india,” the email cited by reuters noted.

路透社引用的电子邮件中提到:我们已收到与该公司行为相关的某些详细信息,包括签证违规、非法结构、逃税和其他不当行为,包括该公司在印度开展业务时所涉及的种族歧视事件。”

mehta, who left the company in 2020, stated via email that she is suing netflix in the us for alleged “wrongful termination” as well as “racial and gender discrimination.” netflix has denied the allegations in a us court and stated that mehta was fired for repeatedly using her corporate credit card for personal expenses.

mehta于2020年离开该公司,她在电子邮件中表示,她正在美国起诉netflix,指控其“错误解雇”以及“种族和性别歧视”。netflix在美国法院否认了这些指控,并表示mehta是因为多次将公司信用卡用于个人开支而被解雇的。

the streaming service is still responding to criticism of ‘ic 814 – the kandahar hijack,’ a show that was released last month. the series, based on the 1999 hijacking of indian airlines flight 814 by the pakistan-based terrorist group harkat-ul-mujahideen, has sparked outrage for failing to clearly present the identities of the terrorists.

该主流媒体服务仍在回应对《ic 814 – the kandahar hijack》的批评,该节目上个月发布。该系列节目基于1999年印度航空814航班被巴基斯坦恐怖组织哈卡特·乌尔·穆贾希丁劫持的事件,因未能清晰呈现恐怖分子的身份而引发愤怒。

during the hijacking, the terrorists referred to each other as “chief,” “doctor,” “burger,” “bhola,” and “shankar,” according to official records. these names were used in the netflix series, despite the real identities of the terrorists now being known: ibrahim athar, shahid akhtar sayed, sunny ahmed qazi, mistri zahoor ibrahim, and shakir. following the series’ release on august 29, social media erupted with calls to boycott both the show and the streaming platform.

根据官方记录,在劫机过程中,恐怖分子互相称呼为“首领”、“医生”、“汉堡”、“博拉”和“尚卡”。尽管恐怖分子的真实身份现已为人所知,但 netflix 剧集中仍使用了这些名字:伊布拉欣·阿塔尔、沙希德·阿赫塔尔·萨耶德、桑尼·阿赫迈德·卡齐、米斯特里·扎霍尔·伊布拉欣和沙基尔。该系列于8月29日发布后,社交媒体上掀起了抵制该节目和主流媒体平台的呼声。

india’s ministry of information and broadcasting summoned the content head of netflix india, monika shergill, to seek an explanation for the controversy.
an unnamed new delhi official, speaking to the media, accused the platform of disrespecting the sentiments of indians.
later, ani, an indian news agency whose footage was used for the show, also sued netflix, claiming the company had not obtained its permission to use the clips. the streaming platform used the outlet’s archive footage and its trademark without permission, sidhant kumar, ani’s lawyer, told reuters. following the outcry, netflix upxed the disclaimer to the series, adding the real and code names of the hijackers.

印度信息与广播部召见了netflix印度的内容负责人莫妮卡·舍尔吉尔,要求就这一争议作出解释。一位不愿透露姓名的新德里官员在接受媒体采访时指责该平台不尊重印度民众的感情。随后,印度新闻机构ani也对netflix提起诉讼,声称该公司未获得使用其片段的许可。ani的律师西达特·库马尔对路透社表示,主流媒体平台未经许可使用了该机构的档案视频和商标。在公众的强烈反对声中,netflix更新了该系列的免责声明,增加了劫机者的真实姓名和代号。
