  • Supreme Court reprimands Ranveer Allahabadia

  • Interim stay on arrest granted

New Delhi – The Supreme Court has given YouTube personality Ranveer Allahbadia – roiled in a row over comments about parents and sex during an episode of stand-up show ‘India’s Got Latent’ – a measure of relief after it said no further Police cases could be filed against him on this matter. The court also said Mr Allahbadia, who claimed death threats to his family and himself, he could approach Maharashtra and/or Assam Police for “protection of life and liberty, in case of threats”.

He was also told he would not be arrested, by either Maharashtra or Assam cops, so long as he cooperates with the investigation, or on the basis of a third complaint filed in Jaipur.

Mr Allahbadia, however, was told to hand over his passport with Police in Maharashtra’s Thane, and warned not to try and leave the country without the court’s nod. He was also told neither he nor his associates could participate in any further stand-up comedy or ‘roast’ shows till further notice. The court also sought the centre’s response on guidelines for ‘obscene’ content on social media.
