The Mumbai police have registered an FIR against actor Ajaz Khan, producer Rajkumar Pandey and others for alleged obscene content in their web show ‘House Arrest’, an official said.
The web show, hosted by Khan, is streamed on the Ullu app.
“Based on a complaint lodged by Gautam Ravriya, an activist of Bajrang Dal, the police registered a case against actor Ajaz Khan, producer Rajkumar Pandey of the web show ‘House Arrest’ and other persons from Ullu app,” the official of Amboli police station said on Friday.
The National Commission for Women (NCW) has summoned Ullu App CEO Vibhu Agarwal and actor Ajaz Khan for alleged coercive and vulgar content involving women participants on the web series “House Arrest”.
The NCW took suo motu cognisance over the latest web series on the Ullu platform and expressed strong condemnation over its content. Agarwal and show host Khan have been asked to appear before it on May 9.
A short purported video clip from the show dated April 29 has sparked outrage online. It shows Khan pressuring women contestants into performing intimate and inappropriate acts on camera, despite their visible discomfort and refusal.
Khan’s reality show “House Arrest” has been pulled down from streaming platform Ullu after a snowballing controversy over its sexually explicit content.
A search for the show “House Arrest” on the Ullu app, known primarily for its adult content, yielded no results on Friday. “Your search for ‘House Arrest’ did not find any matches”, states the message that comes up on the site.
This comes after a short video clip from the show sparked outrage and drew strong reactions from political leaders and others on social media.
