Bigg Boss nominated YouTuber Anurag Dobhal aka UK07 Rider for elimination for the remaining duration of Bigg Boss 17 as punishment following a clash between the YouTuber and fellow contestant Arun Srikanth Mashettey in the latest episode of the Salman Khan-hosted reality show, airing daily on Colors TV.
The episode unfolded with Anurag and Arun trading barbs. However, the situation took a drastic turn when Anurag, unable to contain his anger, tried to grab Arun by the neck during the heated argument. Samarth Jurel stepped in to pull Anurag away from Mashettey, preventing the situation from escalating further.
After being separated, Anurag continued to express his anger by shouting in the house, accusing Arun of invoking his sister's name during the confrontation.
Later, Anurag attempted to provoke Arun while the latter was cooking with Tehelka (aka Sunny Arya) in the kitchen. Arun retaliated by mocking Anurag’s charity work outside the house. This exchange pushed Anurag over the edge, and he vented his anger by breaking kitchen utensils in a fit of rage.
Fellow housemates Abhishek Kumar, Munawar Faruqui, Samarth, and others made desperate attempts to calm Anurag down, but failed to pacify him. In a particularly intense moment, Anurag confronted Abhishek, accusing him of pushing him during the altercation, which only added to the escalating tension within the house.
In response to the extreme turn of events, Anurag was nominated for eviction for the entire season of the show, a significant consequence that sent shockwaves through the house. Additionally, Bigg Boss declared that the kitchen would remain closed until further notice, leaving all the housemates dismayed.
The punishment meted out by Bigg Boss has left the house divided, with many of the contestants expressing their frustration and anger towards Anurag for breaking the rules and disrupting peace in the house.
