One of the biggest decisions taken from it was for Sony. The channel management has been asked by the council to run an apology scroll on 30 December. The complaint was filed with regards to the display of a board promoting abortion in Madana Khurd village during an episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) aired on 19 August.
However, sources from BCCC said that the issue was raised against the show’s producers a couple of months back on a complaint by the Haryana Health Department. As per reports, the board read “500 rupees me garbhpaat karwao aur 5 lakh ka dahej bachao (Get the abortion done in Rs 500 and save dowry of Rs 5 lakh).”
As per the directive, the channel has to run an apology scroll in Hindi and English during now-off-air KBC’s time slot i.e. from 8.30 pm to 9 pm on 30 December.
