The Afghan government has asked prosecutors to investigate two private TV stations that have not complied with a ban on Indian soap operas.
The authorities say the popular Indian programmes conflict with Afghanistan's Islamic values.
However, Tolo TV and Afghan TV say the ban is illegal.
The Indian serials often show men and women together and feature what some Afghans consider to be immodestly-dressed women.
