SC allows YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia to get passport back to travel abroad

The Supreme Court on Monday ordered that YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, better known as BeerBiceps, be allowed to get his passport back so he can travel abroad for his podcast work.

Allahbadia had surrendered his passport earlier when police were investigating criminal cases filed against him and others over controversial comments made during an episode of "India's Got Latent."

The Apex Court had already granted Allahbadia protection from arrest, under certain conditions, while considering his request to combine all the cases filed against him across different states.

Today, a Bench of Justice Surya Kant and Justice NK Singh said that since the police investigation was now complete, Allahbadia could apply to the Maharashtra Cyber Crime Bureau for the release of his passport. The Court directed that his passport be returned to him under reasonable terms and conditions.
