YouTuber Ajeet Bharti on Tuesday moved Delhi's Patiala House Court seeking anticipatory bail in a case registered under the SC/ST Act, IT Act and BNS provisions. The FIR was filed by Balakram Bauddh of the Azad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram) over a video Bharti posted on his social media handle.
The complaint alleges Bharti used casteist and abusive language, made objectionable remarks about BR Ambedkar and Chandrashekhar Azad, used sexually degrading language about women and issued threats. Bharti has publicly defended himself, saying his remarks were a response to offensive comments about his mother and sister.
Additional Sessions Judge Saurabh Pratap Singh Laler heard the matter briefly and summoned the investigating officer. The court said if police issue a notice under Section 35(3) BNSS to Bharti, it must be placed before the court for examination. The case is listed for further arguments on August 31.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both LiveLaw and Bar & Bench reported the same court proceeding neutrally, focusing on the bail application, the FIR, and the next hearing date. The coverage is uniform straight reporting with no discernible editorial slant. The key factual difference is that Bar & Bench named the complainant and gave the full list of alleged remarks, while LiveLaw led with the SC/ST Act and Bharti's defence. A reader gets a complete picture from either source. The court's direction to examine any police notice before deciding bail is the procedural detail to watch on August 31.
