Bobby Deol-starrer Aashram's new teaser for season two was released on Thrusday. The show revolves around a cult led by godman Kashipur Waale Baba Nirala, and the corruption and crime that happens under the guise of faith.

Headed by filmmaker Prakash Jha, the series since the release of season one, has been in the controversy for its 'hinduphobic' narrative. After the release of the teaser for season 2, hashtag #ArrestPrakashJha began trending on Twitter.

It's an conspiracy. We demand #Arrest_Prakash_Jha."

Another tweet read, "Why infamy to "Ashram system" when story is fictional? Aashram web series is a thoughtful, pre-planned conspiracy against Hinduism!
