Comedian Pranit More has approached the Supreme Court seeking the clubbing of FIRs registered against him in Maharashtra and Haryana over the ‘Rs 370 biryani’ controversy, which arose from a misogynistic remark by an audience member at his show. The FIRs invoke provisions of the BNS and the IT Act. The petition is likely to be listed on September 21, and the allegations are untested.
The Maharashtra Cyber Cell registered an FIR against comedian Pranit More, web developer Himanshu Jangra, doctor Sejal Pawar and others over allegedly obscene and offensive content circulated online after a Gurugram comedy event. The case involves social media posts concerning women, consent and deceased persons.
