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.[12] In February 2018 in Delhi, a man residing in New Friends Colony was accused of rape by his 11-year-old daughter.[13] 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.[13] She said that the show gave her the impression that her father's innocent kisses were "wrong".[13] Her father was acquitted by the court.[13]
