Big Boss, Rakhi ka Insaaf to air only late night

Faced with numerous complaints from viewers and women outfits about indecent content, the Information and Broadcasting Ministry has asked channels airing TV shows 'Big Boss' and 'Rakhi ka Insaaf' to air them only between 11 PM and 5 AM.

Both the shows are not for universal viewing and can be aired only in the scheduled time slot, I and B Ministry officials said. The shows cannot also be repeated in any other time slot or shown on news programmes, they said.

While 'Big Boss' is being aired on Colours, 'Rakhi ka Insaaf' is aired on NDTV imagine. The Ministry also banned SS Music channel for a period of seven days for allegedly showing nudity.

The decision was taken following numerous complains from viewers as well as the National Commission for Women and social activists who accused the channels of showing explicit content.
