Supreme Court Seeks Responses on Pranit More's Plea to Club FIRs Over Biryani Remark
The Supreme Court has sought responses from the Centre, Maharashtra, and Haryana governments on comedian Pranit More's plea to club FIRs filed against him over the controversial "Rs 370 biryani" remark made during a Gurugram show. More's counsel stated he has apologized publicly, including before the National Commission for Women, deleted the video prior to FIR registration, and is willing to face trial. The plea requests a single trial by combining the FIRs from Maharashtra and Haryana. The controversy arose after audience member Himanshu Jangra made remarks perceived as insensitive towards women, leading to social backlash and his job termination.
