House Arrest Controversy: Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi claimed that she has actually elevated the problem with the Parliamentary Standing Committee, and is waiting for a reply.
House Arrest Controversy: The program is organized by Ajaz Khan, understood for his job on Bigg Boss 7 (2013 ).
A clip from Ullu App’s truth program ‘House Arrest’ has actually taken the web by tornado over its undesirable material, with some examining why there was an outcry over Samay Raina‘s show and not this one. Reacting to the latest controversy, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi said that she has raised the issue with the Parliamentary Standing Committee, and is awaiting a reply.
“I have raised this in the standing committee that apps such as this, namely, Ullu App and Alt Balaji have managed to escape the ban by I&B ministry on apps for obscene content. I am still awaiting their reply,” she wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha Bihar incharge Barun Raj Singh requested Union minister of Information and Broadcasting Ashwini Vaishnaw to “save our children”.
He further elaborated on the content of the clip: “There is a show called House Arrest hosted by #EijazKhan. In this show, girls are made to take off their bras and panty. As the girls take off their underwear, the host of the show and the rest of the people boo and clap. They talk about on camera sex position….Such shows should be stopped immediately.”
Another user asked in Hindi, “What filth is this?”
An X user, @Starboy2079, tagged the Broadcasting Minister and wrote: “This is all being shown in Indian OTT these days. Can you just imagine how much it is harming our society and culture? I request you to bring strong censorship for OTTs and TV channels (sic).”
A user asked what was stopping the government from banning ULLU TV and this show. “Ullu TV has been promoting soft porn for years now. This content is available to everyone including children because OTT content is not regulated. Govt should take action against Ullu TV, Ajaz Khan & other participants (sic),” @Incognito_qfs wrote.
The show is hosted by Ajaz Khan, known for his stint on Bigg Boss 7 (2013) and his participation in Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi season 5.
Will Content Spark Ranveer Allahabadia Row-Like Reaction?
The controversy comes months after national outrage over “obscene comments” by Ranveer Allahbadia, widely known as the founder of the YouTube channel ‘Beer Biceps,’ on the YouTube program ‘India’ s Got Latent.’
< p id=” 10″ class=” story_para_10″>The issue sparked a legal probe by cops across India, including Mumbai. Assam police had filed a complaint under Section 296 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (BNS), targeting both Allahbadia and the show’s host, comedian Samay Raina, for alleged “obscene acts.”
What Is ‘Obscene’ Under Indian Law?
India’s profanity regulations are mostly managed by Section 294 of the BNS, which penalizes those that market, import, export, market, or benefit from profane products, such as publications, paints, and digital material. The regulation specifies profane product as anything “lascivious or attractive to prurient passion” or something that “tends to deprave and corrupt individuals who are likely to read, see, or hear it.” First- time wrongdoers can be punished to as much as 2 years behind bars and fined as much as Rs 5,000.
