However, the series has got itself into trouble as the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) is seeking a ban on the series for allegedly portraying a Sikh character in an objectionable manner. President of the SGPC, Bibi Jagir Kaur, said: "A Sikh character has been portrayed in an objectionable manner in a web series called 'Grahan' based on the 1984 Sikh genocide. In the web series, the charge of Sikh genocide is being levelled against a Sikh character which is highly condemnable and fabricated." Kaur also added: "A legal notice has been sent by a witness of the genocide Nirpreet Kaur to Ajay G Rai, producer of 'Grahan' web series and Sunil Ryan, head and president of Disney+Hotstar. The SGPC also supports this notice," Kaur also demanded that the government of India must include Sikh representatives in the censor board so that controversial scenes related to Sikhs can be removed in any film. https://youtu.be/8wsswpTAAU0
