No SC relief for Allahbadia on petition to travel

The Supreme Court on Tuesday refused to grant immediate relief to podcaster and YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia in his plea for the release of his passport and permission to travel abroad, stating that his request will only be considered after the investigation into cases linked to his obscene and distasteful remarks on a show is completed.

NEW DELHI:

The court's decision came just weeks after it allowed Allahbadia, known as BeerBiceps on social media, to resume his podcast, "The Ranveer Show", albeit with an undertaking that he would maintain "standards of decency and morality". On Tuesday, when the YouTuber expressed concerns over the impact of travel restrictions on his livelihood, a bench led by justice Surya Kant was firm that his movements could not be unrestricted while the probe was still underway.
