The controversy surrounding alleged suicide of a young boy after being humiliated on a television show by Rakhi Sawant continues to haunt the Bollywood item girl.

After the boy's family decided to seek police help, Punjab tourism and cultural affairs minister Hira Singh Gabria has written to Information and Broadcasting minister Ambika Soni demanding a ban on the show 'Rakhi ka Insaaf'.

He has demanded either 'ban' on broadcasting of the show or 'deletion' of objectionable content.

The minister said he was urged by people wherever he went to take action against the show, in which Rakhi seeks to settle disputes in her own way.

The Bhartiya Kisan Union on Sunday also demanded that the item girl be arrested for allegedly abetting the suicide of the youth. 24-year-old Lakshman Prasad of Jhansi in Uttar Pradesh had appeared in Rakhi's show, "Rakhi ka Insaaf' on NDTV Imagine, in October to settle a marital discord with his wife Vineeta during which Rakhi shouted at Lakshman and termed him 'namard' (impotent).

After the show was aired, his neighbours started teasing him, which sent him into a state of shock and depression, his family alleged.

He stopped eating and went into depression and finally died at a local hospital last week.
