ZEE5 has once again found itself at the centre of attention with the announcement of its new series The Scam Leaked. The project arrives after the platform faced controversy over the removal of Satluj following its OTT premiere.
Satluj, starring Diljit Dosanjh, was reportedly taken down from ZEE5 after the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting alleged that the film had been released without completing the mandatory certification process.
While officials cited certification-related reasons for the removal, many viewers remained unconvinced. The decision sparked widespread debate, with some social media users alleging that the film was being removed from public platforms.
As discussions surrounding Satluj continue, ZEE5 has now announced The Scam Leaked, a series reportedly inspired by competitive examination paper leak cases.
The teaser has been released at a time when examination transparency has become a major public issue. Recent protests and debates over alleged exam irregularities have brought the concerns of students into sharp focus.
According to the teaser, The Scam Leaked appears to be based on the alleged NEET paper leak controversy. It suggests that people linked to the examination system were involved in leaking question papers before they reached examination centres.
The series aims to explore how such alleged examination scams could take place and the impact they have on students and the education system.
Many social media users have praised ZEE5 for backing another sensitive subject after the controversy surrounding Satluj. However, it remains to be seen how The Scam Leaked will be received and whether it faces any regulatory hurdles before or after its release.
