The Commission’s comments come as the Supreme Court is hearing the YouTubers’ plea seeking quashing of multiple FIRs registered in various states in connection with the case or clubbing them. Recently, hearing Allahbadia’s plea, the top court came down heavily on the YouTuber and said, “Using filthy language is not talent.” The bench also said parents and sisters would be ashamed of the language used in the show.
However, considering Allahbadia’s plea, the bench allowed him to resume the Ranveer Show, considering the livelihood of over 200 persons employed by him. The Court also restricted registering fresh FIRs against the YouTubers over the matter.
