The minister didn’t stop here. He even wrote a letter to Minister of Information and Broadcasting Prakash Javedkar, seeking a ban on the streaming of ‘Pataal Lok’ on Amazon Prime.
Even netizens have demanded a ban on the web series as a scene from it portrays a sadhu eating meat with the photo of a deity in the background
