YouTuber Ranveer Allahabadia has filed a petition in the Supreme Court seeking relief in the multiple FIRs lodged against him in various states for the offence of obscenity over the remarks made by him during the ‘India Got Latent’ show.
The matter was mentioned on Friday before the Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna by Advocate Abhinav Chandrachud.
Appearing for Allahabadia, commonly known as Beer Biceps, Dr. Chandrachud submitted that there was an apprehension of coercive action by the Assam police.
CJI Khanna, however, said that a date has already been given for the petition filed under Article 32 of the Constitution. The CJI further said that he did not allow oral mentioning.
FIRs have been registered by the Maharashtra Police and the Assam Police against Allahabadia over his statements, which created a huge outrage after they became viral on social media.
The YouTuber later issued a public apology, admitting that his comments were inappropriate.
In 2024, Allahbadia was presented the Disruptor of the Year award at the National Creators Award by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
