Overview

• The Supreme Court of India has observed that investigations into Ranveer Allahbadia’s case are complete, except for a pending co-accused statement in the Guwahati FIR.
• A hearing is scheduled for April 28 to decide on Allahbadia’s plea for the return of his passport, which was surrendered as part of earlier court directives.
• Allahbadia, known as BeerBiceps, faced FIRs in Assam and Maharashtra over alleged obscene comments made on Samay Raina’s YouTube show 'India's Got Latent.'
• The court had previously allowed Allahbadia to resume his podcast, 'The Ranveer Show,' under strict decency guidelines to ensure content suitability for all audiences.
• This case has reignited debates on the regulation of digital content and the balance between free speech and societal decency standards.
