Dhruv Rathee, a popular YouTuber and influencer, has faced criticism for his initial response to the rape and murder of a postgraduate trainee doctor in Kolkata. He has been accused of being silent on the issue and later for disclosing the victim’s name. Rathee has now clarified his stance, stating that he is working on a detailed video addressing the issue and the systemic causes of violence against women in India.
A Delhi court has summoned YouTuber Dhruv Rathee and social media platforms in a defamation suit filed by Suresh Karamshi Nakhua, a BJP spokesperson. The suit alleges that Rathee’s video falsely accused Nakhua of being a violent and abusive troll, causing damage to his reputation.
YouTuber Dhruv Rathee is facing scrutiny after a parody account posted a fake message about Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla’s daughter on X. Maharashtra’s cyber police have registered a case, but Rathee maintains he is not involved. The parody account, which has since deleted its posts, claimed Birla’s daughter cleared the UPSC exam without appearing for it. This incident comes after Rathee previously faced threats following his video about an alleged assault on AAP MP Swati Maliwal.
