The case has been registered under the IT Act and Excise Act and the matter is set to be heard on October 1. The lawyer said, “The Kapil Sharma Show that is being aired on Sony TV is sloppy. They also make lewd comments on women. In one of the episodes, a court was set up on the stage and the actors were seen drinking alcohol in public. This is contempt of court. That’s why I have demanded registration of FIR against the culprits under Section 356/3 in the court. Such display of sloppiness should be stopped.” The lawyer accused the actors of making lewd comments on women. The episode had aired on 19 January 2020. The Kapil Sharma Show is hosted by comedian Kapil Sharma. Apart from Kapil, the show stars Sumona Chakravarti, Bharti Singh, Krushna Abhishek, Sudesh Lehri and Archana Singh. After being off-air for almost seven months, TKSS returned to TV screens on August 21.This is not the first time that the show has landed in trouble. In another episode from last year, the show had stirred a row for hurting the sentiments of the Kayastha community. The episode had portrayed Chitragupt as trying to dupe a rich man.
