On Friday, the National Commission for Women (NCW) summoned actor Ajaz Khan and Ullu App CEO Vibhu Agarwal after a clip from the platform’s reality show “House Arrest” went viral.

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 the IT minister, Ashwini Vaishnaw, to take strict action against mobile applications that promote such content.

“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,” the BJP leader alleged.
