Yuvraj Singh's father, Yograj Singh, is making headlines as he seeks anticipatory bail in an FIR linked to the controversial web series 'Lukkhe'. This legal move comes amidst a growing public outcry over the series' alleged derogatory and misogynistic remarks. The series, released on May 8, 2026, has sparked a heated debate, with a 17-second clip going viral on social media. In the clip, Yograj Singh's character, 'Walia Sahab', makes a statement that has been widely criticized for its sexist undertones, suggesting a woman's place is primarily in the kitchen and the bedroom. This incident has not only raised concerns about gender equality but has also led to a legal battle, with an FIR registered under Section 79 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and Section 62-A of the Information Technology Act, 2000.
The complaint, filed by District Bar Association treasurer and advocate Ujjwal Bhasin, along with advocate Jatin Verma, highlights the series' impact on women's roles in society. Bhasin argues that the dialogues target women who work outside the home while managing domestic responsibilities, and he has appealed to the Women's Commission for suo motu action. The Punjab State Women's Commission has taken cognizance of the matter, issuing a notice to Yograj Singh and seeking an inquiry. Commission Chairperson Raj Lali Gill has directed the Punjab Police to investigate and submit an action-taken report, emphasizing the need for appropriate action.
This is not the first time Yograj Singh has faced controversy. He has a history of making public statements that have sparked debate. The matter is now in the court's hands, with the state scheduled to file its reply on the anticipatory bail application on May 20. The outcome of this legal battle will undoubtedly have significant implications for the series' future and the public's perception of Yograj Singh's work. As the legal proceedings unfold, the entertainment industry and society at large await a resolution to this contentious issue.
