Twelve television channels have faced action from the Information and Broadcasting Ministry for 28 complaints relating to reality shows since 2006.

Parliament was told by Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting Ministry Rajyavardhan Rathore today that in addition to the above, two advisories were issued – one relating to depiction of cruelty to animals, and the other about quiz-based reality shows – to all television channels in 2011.

The channels were either warned or issued advisories, asked to run an apology scroll for a fixed period, or shift the programme to after 11.00 pm.

Colors leads the list with six complaints of which five relate to different seasons of Bigg Boss. The sixth related to Khatron ke Khilari.

Bindass comes next with four complaints, followed by three complaints each against MTV, Channel (V), and Sony TV. There were two complaints relating to Star One and Zee Telugu, and one each against Star Plus, Real TV, NDTV Imagine and Imagine TV.
