Overview

• Khan was booked under BNS section 79 and IT Act section 67 after an FIR filed by Harsh Beniwal’s mother at the Cyber Police Station.
• The court said custodial interrogation was unnecessary because the case hinges on a video from Khan’s phone that is already with the Bombay Police.
• Finding no indication of flight risk, the judge cautioned against mechanical arrests and invoked the principle of “bail not jail.”
• The order noted that posts by large‑audience creators can be widely republished even after deletion, which can harm victims.
• Khan told the court he reacted to a parody video and later removed his own video, as the case proceeds under the pending complaint.
