ULLU House Arrest Controversy: Rajya Sabha MP Priyanka Chaturvedi slams inaction over ‘obscene’ OTT web series

Rajya Sabha MP Priyanka Chaturvedi criticized the government on May 1, 2025, for not banning Ullu App's 'House Arrest' reality show amid a New Delhi controversy.
Her criticism follows the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting's March 14 ban on 18 OTT platforms for obscene content, from which Ullu and Alt Balaji were excluded.
The controversy intensified after a viral clip showed host Ajaz Khan pressuring contestants to simulate sexual acts, prompting National Commission for Women and Maharashtra State Commission actions.
NCW Chairperson Vijaya Rahatkar stated that such programs should be prohibited and warned that if the content is deemed inappropriate, legal measures will be enforced in accordance with the BNS guidelines and the Information Technology Act.
As a result, Ullu removed 'House Arrest' from its platform, the police registered FIRs against Ajaz Khan and producers, and summons were issued to appear before the NCW on May 9.
