SC protects Allahbadia from arrest, raps him for comments on YouTube show

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Tuesday granted influencer Ranveer Allahbadia protection from arrest in multiple FIRs over his alleged distasteful comments during a YouTube show and also strongly criticised him for the remarks.

Infuriated over Allahbadia’s comments, a bench of Justices Surya Kant and N Kotiswar Singh said, “…there is something dirty in his mind which has been vomited on the YouTube show.”

However, the top court granted him relief, agreeing to the submissions of senior advocate Abhinav Chandrachud, representing the influencer, that he be protected from any coercive action. Moreover, he is receiving death threats, the advocate said. PTI
