YouTuber Ajeet Bharti Asked to Share Video Links by Punjab High Court
A man named Ajeet Bharti, who makes videos online, said some mean things about a top judge.
Some people heard about this and thought he might have broken the law.
Ajeet was worried the police might arrest him, so he asked a high court for help.
He wanted to know if there was an official police report, called an FIR, against him.
The court asked the police if they had registered a report.
The police said they saw some mean videos but were still investigating who was involved.
The court then told Ajeet that if he wants to know for sure if he's in trouble, he should send the police links to his own videos.
This way, they can check if his name is on any police report.
YouTuber Ajeet Bharti was directed by the Punjab and Haryana High Court to share his video links with the Punjab Police.
The court's order is to help Bharti ascertain if an FIR has been registered against him for allegedly objectionable remarks about Chief Justice BR Gavai.

The Punjab government informed the court that they had taken cognisance of videos with derogatory language against the Chief Justice but the investigation is ongoing.
