Series overview

Controversy

The show has landed in controversy on numerous occasions where it has been seen as a bad influence by its sensational portrayal of crime. In February 2018 in Delhi, a man residing in New Friends Colony was accused of rape by his 11-year-old daughter. The girl later admitted in court that she had complained against her father after watching Savdhaan India and that she had "exaggerated things" before her mother and the police. She said that the show gave her the impression that her father's innocent kisses were something ‘wrong’. Her father was acquitted by the court.
