The government's action comes in response to recommendations from the Ministry of Home Affairs following the April 22 terror attack in the upper reaches of the Kashmir resort town of Pahalgam, which claimed the lives of 26 people, most of them tourists.

“The Ministry of External Affairs will be monitoring the reporting of the BBC, which termed terrorists as militants”, officials had said.

Recently, Actor Ajaz Khan's reality show House Arrest has been removed from the Ullu streaming platform following a growing controversy over its sexually explicit content. A search for the show on the Ullu App, widely known for adult content, returned no results as of Friday.

This follows the circulation of a video clip from the show that sparked widespread outrage online. In the clip, Khan is seen pressuring female contestants into engaging in intimate and inappropriate acts on camera. His probing, personal questions appear to make several participants visibly uncomfortable, bordering on vulgarity.

The National Commission for Women (NCW) took suo motu cognizance of the issue and summoned Ullu App CEO Vibhu Agarwal and Khan, a former Bigg Boss contestant, after condemning the content. Both have been asked to appear before the commission on May 9.
