One of the episodes shows Satyananad Tripathi played by Kulbhushan Kharbanda reading a book titled Dhabba. The scene, however, portrays it as an adult read with the voice-over reading a few lines from the book. The book's author Surendra Mohan Pathak has now alleged that his book has been "mischievously misrepresented."

According to a report in Hindustan Times, he said that the voice-over in the episode is not the original text of his book. He said, "What is being read is sheer porno, the undersigned cannot even dream of writing, supposedly to titillate the viewers. But in the process, the whole sequence is shown as an excerpt from my novel ‘Dhabba', which amounts to mischievous misrepresentation."

"The sequence defames me as an author and puts me in bad light as a well-known mystery writer which I am since more than the last five decades," added Pathak.
