  • The picture used in the show has been morphed to include some fictional characters. However, it anyway features Gurjar and other BJP leaders.

    The image displays show's villain and politician Balkishan Bajpayee (Anup Jalota) inaugurating a highway, with Gurjar standing close to him.

    As it turns out, the original photo featured UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and is from an actual inauguration in UP.

  • In addition, Gurjar also raised objections over the show's content, calling it "anti-national".

    In his complaint, the MLA said that the series shows Sanatan Dharma in poor light.

    He alleged that it maligns the image of BJP (which governs both UP and Centre) and the Gurjar community.

    The politician added the show creates a terror-free image of Pakistan and insults national investigating agencies.
