YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia on Friday (February 14, 2025) moved the Supreme Court against the first information reports (FIRs) lodged over his alleged distasteful comments.
The top court said the pleas of the Youtuber will be taken up for hearing in two-three days.
It may be noted that the Maharashtra Cyber Cell on Wednesday (February 12, 2025) registered a case against Mr. Allahbadia and others associated with India’s Got Latent following the controversy surrounding remarks made by Mr. Allahbadia in an episode, which triggered widespread outrage online.
Though Mr. Allahbadia has issued an apology following widespread criticism with calls for his podcast to be banned, politicians, including Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Opposition leaders in the Maharashtrea, condemned him for misusing freedom of speech.
According to the Maharashtra Cyber Cell, approximately 30-40 people (judges of the show) have been booked in connection with the case.
