For the unversed, FIR had been lodged against him at Luni police station in Jodhpur. He has been alleged of hurting the Dalit community‘s sentiments in the aforementioned web series’ first part. There’s a particular scene in which upper caste’s people have shown insulting bridegroom belonging to the Dalit community. The person who has registered a complaint also stated that Jha is also promoting abusive behaviour towards the oppressed community by glorifying it.
