Abhinav Chandrachud will argue the case of podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia who is facing multiple FIRs over the remarks he made in ‘India’s Got Latent’
Son of former Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, Abhinav Chandrachud, will be representing Ranveer Allahbadia in ‘India’s Got Latent’ case.
The case around YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia controversy took another turn on Friday when the podcaster decided to move the Supreme Court for clubbing all the FIRs filed against him over the crude remarks he made in Samay Raina’s show ‘India’s Got Latent’.
Allahbadia, who is popularly known as ‘BeerBiceps’, has been facing severe backlash since his video went viral in which he was heard asking a contestant, “Would you watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life, or would you join in once and stop it forever?”
In the wake of multiple FIRs filed against him, Allahbadia decided to appeal for clubbing all of them. The matter was presented before the bench by Abhinav Chandrachud, son of former Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud.
Abhinav Chandrachud appealed to a bench headed by Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna. He requested an urgent hearing after informing the bench about multiple FIRs registered against Allahbadia.
