The Delhi High Court directs the Union government to take a decision within 15 days on a petition seeking removal of a video by YouTuber Dhruv Rathee that discusses Hindu deities. The petition focuses on statements made in a video uploaded on March 21, which alleges that scriptures permit or describe Hindu deities such as Ram, Sita and Krishna consuming meat and alcohol. An advocate, Amita Sachdeva, argues that the video contains claims that are allegedly inaccurate and requests action to remove it. The court’s order requires the Centre to respond and decide on the plea within the set timeframe. The available reports describe the dispute as centering on the content of the video and the specific claims attributed to religious texts, rather than on any final ruling on the merits. Further proceedings are expected after the Centre’s decision and subsequent court review, if the matter is not resolved.
