The Supreme Court of India has recently expressed a strong disapproval of YouTuber Ranveer Allahabadia, describing its comments as “dirty” and “perverted” in the context of legal cases ongoing against it derived from the accusations of obscenity. The court issued these comments while the Arrest of Allahabadia remained in relation to multiple FIR (first information information) presented against him for allegedly making objectable statements in his online content.
The controversy arose after Allahabadia, known for her lifestyle and motivational videos, made comments that many considered inappropriate and offensive. This led to the public protest and the legal actions of several sectors, which resulted in FIR housed in relevant sections of the Criminal Code of India and the Information Technology Law. Complaints highlighted concerns about their influence on young spectators and the need to promote respectful discourse, especially in an era of expansion of digital platforms.
During the hearing, the Supreme Court recognized the sensitivity of the matter and the responsibilities that entails being a public figure. The judges criticized Allahabadia’s comments, stating that such expressions could damage social values and contribute to a culture of misogyny. However, they also recognized the importance of evaluating the context of comments and implications of freedom of expression.
While the court has temporarily remained the arrest of Allahabadia, he pointed out the need for him to be more aware of his public statements in the future. The ruling serves as a reminder for content creators about their responsibility and the impact of their words on their audience. As the case develops, it is likely to generate more discussions about the limits of online expression and legal frameworks that govern digital content in India.
