As a result, reportedly, the show has been banned in the state. A warrant was also issued against the actor and the show’s producer, Rajan Shahi.

Though no one from the channel was available for a comment, Hasija said, “I had said Valmiki daku se sadhu kaise ban gaya? It was not meant to be offensive, but I understand that sentiments could have been violated. We apologised on screen, but we had no clue it would snowball into such a big issue. I don’t know much about the ban, but I know that things have become quite serious. So Rajan and I went to Punjab and asked for anticipatory bail. We have got it too.”
