YouTuber Ranveer Allahabadia Scolded by Supreme Court for Obscene Comments

The Supreme Court has strongly criticized YouTuber Alahabadiya for making obscene comments, stating that “there is dirt in their minds.” The court has also directed the central government to take action against the YouTuber. The court warned that if no action is taken, they will not remain silent.

New Delhi, 18 February – (www.deccanlive.com): The court told Ranveer, “You have embarrassed your parents and sisters.” Ranveer, a YouTuber and podcaster, faced backlash for using inappropriate language on the show India’s Got Latent. The Supreme Court strongly criticized him, saying, “There is something dirty in this person’s mind, which has been spread through this show.” The court also asked his lawyer, “Are you defending such statements? We want to know what the standards of obscenity are?”

However, the court temporarily stopped his arrest and ordered that no FIR (police complaint) be filed against him. Justice Surya Kant said, “The words you chose will embarrass parents, sisters, and the entire society. This is a twisted mentality. You and your people have shown perversion! We have a justice system that works according to the law. If there are threats, the law will take its course.”

When Ranveer’s lawyer asked to cancel the FIR, the court responded, “If this statement is not obscene, then what is? Why should we cancel or combine the FIR filed against you?”

Supreme Court Calls It “Cheap Publicity”

The court commented on the threats Ranveer is receiving, saying, “If you use such language for cheap publicity, others will also use similar language and talk about cutting tongues.” Justice M.M.

Let the Law Do Its Job: Supreme Court

The court said, “He has used completely vulgar language, and the law will take its course. We condemn the threats, but let the law do its job.” The court added, “Such behavior should be condemned. Just because someone thinks they are famous and can say anything, can they take the entire society lightly? Is there anyone on earth who would like such language?”

Supreme Court Questions Central Government

During the hearing, the Supreme Court also questioned the central government. It asked, “Is the government going to do something about obscene content on YouTube and other social media platforms?” Justice Surya Kant told Additional Solicitor General Aishwarya Bhati, “This is a serious issue.
