Former cricketer and actor Yograj Singh has approached the court seeking anticipatory bail after an FIR was filed against him over alleged anti-women remarks in the web series Lukkhe. The case was registered at Chandigarh’s Sector 36 police station following complaints that certain dialogues from the series were offensive towards women and promoted misogynistic views.

According to reports, the complaint was lodged by advocates Ujjwal Bhasin and Jatin Verma, who objected to a viral clip from the show in which Yograj’s character allegedly makes derogatory comments about women. The FIR reportedly invokes provisions related to insulting the modesty of women, while the Punjab State Women Commission has also taken suo motu cognisance of the controversy and sought a police investigation.
