Comedian Yash Rathi faces backlash after his performance at IIT Bhilai’s annual fest, “Mirage,” on November 15. An FIR was lodged against him by Durg police under Section 296 of the BNS Act after complaints about his obscene and sexually explicit content. The incident embarrassed attendees, including professors, families, and children, with many walking out as Rathi used Hindi slangs and vulgar language. The video of Yash Rathi’s standup comedy went viral on social media where he’s seen addressing the audience and using ‘vulgar’ language, leaving the guests and professors covering their ears with hands. The event’s organisers stopped Rathi mid-performance following objections from professors. Videos of the act went viral, sparking outrage from youth political wings such as NSUI, BJYM, and Karni Sena. IIT Bhilai launched an inquiry to determine accountability and banned future stand-up comedy shows. This isn’t Rathi’s first controversy; he was booked in 2023 by Dehradun police for remarks on Lord Ram. Comedian Yash Rathi Booked For Objectional Remark Against Lord Ram in Dehradun (Watch Video).
