This request comes as the court hears pleas to consolidate FIRs linked to the ‘India’s Got Latent’ controversy.

The controversy began when Allahbadia made controversial remarks about parents on comedian Samay Raina's show, sparking public outrage and multiple FIRs.
The BJP criticized Congress on Monday after INC spokesperson Shama Mohamed’s now-deleted X post fat-shamed Indian cricket captain Rohit Sharma.

The post quickly garnered backlash before being deleted.
