Lawyer Abhinav Chandrachud said in court that Allahbadia got death threats and a Rs 5 lakh reward for cutting his tongue was announced. A former wrestler said that he should not be spared in any party we meet him. “All for a 10-second clip”. Justice Suryakant then questioned the lawyer if he was defending the language used by the podcaster.
“If this is not obscene then what is ? You can show your vulgarity anytime and show the depravity .. there are only two FIRs. One in Mumbai and one in Assam. Liberty is a separate issue. It is not that every case is targeted you and your are entangled. Suppose 100 firs are there he can say he cannot defend himself”, said the SC. Justice Suryakant further said, “Such behaviour has to be condemned. Just because you are popular you cannot take the society for granted. Is there anyone on earth who will like this language. There is something very dirt in his mind which has been vomitted. Why should we protect him?”. When Justice Suryakant said this, the lawyer for Ranveer Allahbadia said he cannot defend him on the basis of morality.
When the lawyer then listed supposed threats, Justice Suryakant said that the state can take action against the threats and also, that the comments by Allahbadia were made for popularity and now, people are issuing such threats for popularity as well.
