In the video clips of the web show that have gone viral on social media, Khan is seen putting pressure on contestants, including women, to act out intimate situations. He also asks the participants some vulgar questions.

On Thursday, Maharashtra BJP MLC Chitra Wagh demanded an immediate ban on ‘House Arrest’, alleging its content is obscene and harmful to society, especially to children.

She also urged Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting Ashwini Vaishnaw to take strict action against mobile applications that promote such content.

Speaking out against the show, Wagh stated, “Ajaz Khan, who calls himself an actor, has created a show called ‘House Arrest’, which is nothing but the epitome of obscenity. Clips from this show, streamed on the Ullu app, are now circulating freely on social media, and they are extremely vulgar.” (PTI)
