As per media reports, lawyer Suresh Dhakad from Shivpuri filed the FIR in the CJM Court over the April 21 episode of the stand-up comedy and talk show in which the actors in the scene were seen consuming alcohol while performing in a courtroom setup. Suggesting the scene was disrespectful to the court, Dhakad demanded strict actions against people involved in the show.
