The Mumbai police have filed an FIR against actor Ajaz Khan, producer Rajkumar Pandey, and others associated with the web show “House Arrest” on the OTT platform Ullu App. The complaint, lodged by Bajrang Dal worker Goutam Rauria, alleges that the show contains obscene content that disrespects women’s dignity.
Obscenity Allegations
The complaint states that the show features explicit language and actions that are inappropriate and offensive. Clips from the show have gone viral on social media, showing Khan asking participants, including women, to perform intimate acts and posing awkward questions.
Charges and Investigation
The charges against Khan, Pandey, and others associated with “House Arrest” include sections under the Indian Penal Code related to obscenity and disrespecting women’s dignity. The police are now investigating the matter further.
Reactions and Consequences
Following the controversy, Maharashtra BJP MLC Chitra Wagh demanded an immediate ban on “House Arrest,” citing its harmful impact on society, particularly children. In response to the backlash, Ullu App removed the show from its platform.
In the wake of these developments, the controversy surrounding “House Arrest” highlights the ongoing debate about content regulation on OTT platforms and the boundaries of creative expression in Indian entertainment.
