A BJP MLA in Maharashtra on 3rd November sought police action against Amitabh Bachchan and makers of TV show Kaun Banega Crorepati 12 for allegedly hurting religious sentiments. Abhimanyu Pawar, legislator from Ausa in Latur district, complained to the Latur SP that action should be taken against Bachchan and Sony Entertainment Television over a question asked in the Karamveer special episode of 30th October.
According to Pawar, there was an attempt to insult Hindus and create discord between Hindus and Buddhists. The episode had social activist Bezwada Wilson and actor Anup Soni in the hot seats.
