Concerned over jokes on social media ridiculing people with disabilities and other vulnerable groups, SC says it may direct the government to frame guidelines for all media platforms.
Popular as 'The Rebel Kid', Mukhija's remarks on Samay Raina’s YouTube show ‘India’s Got Latent’ with podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia triggered social media outrage and led to multiple FIRs.
The court also allowed Ranveer Allahbadia—popularly known as ‘BeerBiceps’—to resume his podcast ‘The Ranveer Show’ provided the content did not breach standards of morality, decency.
