Following a complaint of alleged obscenity on reality television show Bigg Boss, the Lonavala police on Sunday registered a First Information Report against three inmates of the “house”. The FIR was registered after the Lonavala police viewed footage of the show, telecast daily on Colors.
Based on a complaint made by the Mumbai Youth Congress Committee (MYCC) alleging that the show “bred vulgarity, indecency and indecent representation of women”, the Andheri police had registered an FIR against some of the participants of the show, the production house Endemol and Colors. However as the set where the show is recorded is located in Karjat, the case was being transferred to the Lonavala police.
Two Andheri police officers arrived at the Lonavala police station on Sunday afternoon with the case papers. Lonavala cops also reportedly visited the show’s sets.
“We have been briefed by the Andheri police and filed an FIR against three of the show’s participants — Rahul Mahajan, Payal Rohatgi and Sambhavana Seth, who have been accused of behaving in an obscene manner, under Sections 294/34 of the Indian Penal Code. Endemol and Colors have also been charged with telecasting the footage,” said Senior Police Inspector of Lonavala S Darekar.
