Curry and Cyanide is a documentary that made waves on social media. It had a more than fantastic reception and it has already reached the audience it targets. But but but, there is a new drama around it. M.S. Mathew, the second accused in the Koodathayi serial murder case, is seeking to halt the documentary ‘Curry and Cyanide – The Jolly Joseph Case’ on Netflix. He filed a petition in the Special Additional Sessions Court, claiming that false information about the case was circulating even before the verdict. Mathew also alleged that a TV channel and online media were broadcasting misleading content related to the incident.
The prosecution’s response to the petition will be heard on January 29. Some months ago, forensic experts expressed concerns about the Netflix series featuring key witnesses and investigators while the trial was ongoing. They believed it set a wrong precedent.
The Koodathayi murders occurred between 2002 and 2016, involving Jolly Joseph. Victims included her mother-in-law, father-in-law, husband, brother-in-law, and two others. A thorough investigation led to Jolly’s arrest on October 5, 2019, along with two others, accused of poisoning the victims for control over family properties.
Will ‘Curry and Cyanide – The Jolly Joseph Case’ be also pulled from Netflix just like Annapoorni? Let’s see.
