Kathmandu: The Nepalese authorities have banned the telecast of a popular comedy TV show, "Tito Satya" (Bitter Truth), for reportedly satirising Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The 576th episode of "Tito Satya", scheduled to be aired Thursday evening, was abruptly taken off after officials of the state-owned Nepal Television (NTV) found some objectionable remarks in the episode, the plot of which was basically dedicated to how Modi brings development in Nepal and how the political leadership of Nepal was trying to make money out of the funds being released by Modi.
