'House Arrest' row: Mumbai cops send summonses to actor Ajaz Khan, Ullu App owner

Mumbai's Amboli Police on Monday sent summonses to actor Ajaz Khan and the owner of Ullu App owing to the questionable content of the former Bigg Boss contestant's show House Arrest.

The summonses were sent to both of them to appear before the investigating officer and record their statement. The police have also recorded the statement of the manager of Ullu App, ANI reported.

The Mumbai police had on Friday registered an FIR against actor Ajaz Khan, producer Rajkumar Pandey and others for alleged obscene content in their web show House Arrest.

The web show, hosted by Khan, is streamed on the Ullu app.

"Based on a complaint lodged by Gautam Ravriya, an activist of Bajrang Dal, the police registered a case against actor Ajaz Khan, producer Rajkumar Pandey of the web show 'House Arrest' and other persons from Ullu app," the official of Amboli police station said on Friday.

Meanwhile, the Maharashtra State Women Commission (MSWC) wrote to the National Commission for Women for the removal of obscene content in web shows and online applications such as Ullu, an official said on Monday.

Last week, BJP leader and MLC Chitra Wagh had also demanded an immediate ban on House Arrest, alleging that its content was 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.eir viewership.
