Bhopal: A lawyer for two of the convicts in the Bhopal gas disaster case has served a legal notice on Yash Raj Films asking it “cease and desist” from showing anything in the web series The Railway Men on the 1984 tragedy that relates to causes of the leak, directly or indirectly, reports Ashutosh Shukla.

Anirban Roy, the Mumbai-based counsel for J Mukund and S P Choudhary, has said that his clients have appealed the 2010 trial court order holding them guilty and the verdict itself didn’t arrive at any categorical finding on the causes of the leak that killed and maimed thousands.

With the appeals pending and being an extension of the trial, it can’t be said that the trial court order is the last word on the subject, Roy has said in his notice to Yash Raj Films. Mukund and Choudhary were serving as officials at the Union Carbide India Limited when the poisonous gas leaked from the factory in Bhopal on the night of December 2 and 3, 1984.
