Faced with mounting complaints from TV viewers and women outfits about objectionable contents, Government today ordered channels airing TV shows Big Boss and Rakhi ka Insaaf to broadcast them only between 11 pm and 5 am, virtually bracketing them as only for adult viewing.
The shows cannot also be repeated at any other time slot or shown on news programmes, they said. The decision would be effective with immediate effect that is from today, the officials said.
Rakhi ka Insaaf, compared by actor-dancer Rakhi Sawant, hit the spotlight after Laksham Prasad, a resident of Jhansi, committed suicide, which his family alleged, was following the humiliation meted out to him on the show.
His family said the youth was upset after Rakhi described him as "impotent" and had gone into depression and refused to eat anything for several days.
Complaints have also been received about the "abusive" language and intimate scenes on 'Big Boss', the officials said.
