TV soaps to apologise

'Qubool Hai''s telecast on Zee TV will now run with an apology scroll for five days starting July 29, while the channel Big CBS has been asked to run it every two hours for seven days, by the Broadcasting Content Complaints Council (BCCC). 

A complaint against Qubool Hai stated that its February 28 episode "showed an elderly woman being tortured", and there were other complaints on violence against women in the soap, including a scene where the vamp mixes acid in the mehendi meant for the heroine. BCCC has stated that "the show depicts and suggests ways of torturing women, which offends good taste and decency." 

In the second case, the I&B Ministry filed a complaint against an episode of the show The Dead Zone, which aired on December 1 on Big CBS Prime, saying it showed two people getting intimate, which was "vulgar" and aired at a time when children watch TV. The channel replied stating that it is a "niche' channel" and is "watched by a select audience". But in a BCCC hearing, channel reps admitted an "error occurred".
