The parliamentarian's supporters barged into the offices of the newly opened channel in Andheri East and broke windowpanes, damaged furniture and fittings inside and outside the premises.
About 500 RPI workers staged a roadblock outside the office on the busy Andheri-Kurla road, which leads to the airport, and also burnt an effigy of actor Shilpa Shetty who is hosting the show. Shetty had won Britain's version of the show last year.
According to RPI's Mumbai district president Vivek Pawar, the channel called Athavale on Aug 16 and then suddenly rejected him without assigning any reason.
"We feel that he has been rejected mainly because he belongs to a Scheduled Caste," Pawar told alleging sectarian bias.
Two people have been arrested on charges of rioting.
