The lawyer expressed his anguish that the institution of family was being damaged by such shows which also hurt the sentiments of people, according to the complaint. The petitioner further alleged that some business houses were driven by profits and TRPs in the telecast of the show. The participants were given “tasks” such as cleaning the bathrooms on the big boss set and the so-called “boss“ treated the others like slaves, which was against democratic principles, the complaint is reported to have said.

To restrain people and not allow them to leave the house violated human rights, it said. People who watched this show would be mentally disturbed, the petition further said.
