Maharashtra BJP MLC Chitra Wagh has called for an immediate ban on actor Ajaz Khan’s web series House Arrest, alleging that it promotes obscene content harmful to society, particularly impressionable children. The series is currently being streamed on the Ullu app, known for its adult-themed content.
Wagh expressed serious concerns over the show, stating, “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 are now freely circulating on social media, and they are extremely vulgar.”
Highlighting the accessibility of such content, Wagh warned that children are increasingly exposed to it on mobile phones. “These kinds of programmes not only insult our culture but also degrade the moral health of society. This is a perverse attack on the minds of the next generation,” she said.
Urging strict action, Wagh appealed to Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw to intervene and take steps against mobile platforms that enable the dissemination of such material. She accused content creators of misusing the principle of freedom of expression, saying, “In the name of freedom of expression, we must stop giving a free hand to obscenity. House Arrest is not merely content—it is an assault on the values of society.”
Her demand has sparked renewed debate over the regulation of digital platforms and the boundaries of artistic freedom in India.
