Earlier the district court in Bihar's Begusarai issued an arrest warrant after an ex-serviceman, Shambhu Kumar, filed a complaint in 2020 claiming that the series ‘XXX’ (Season 2) contained several objectionable scenes involving a soldier’s wife who is having illicit relations while her soldier husband is on duty. The show aired on OTT platform ALTBalaji.
