India, Feb. 18 -- YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, who stands surrounded by a raging controversy over his remark at India's Got Latent YouTube show, found some respite after the Supreme Court on Tuesday granted him interim protection from arrest in FIRs in Assam, Maharashtra.

The top court further directed no further FIR will be registered against Ranveer Allahbadia over the remarks made on the episode aired on the show "India's Got Latent."

The Supreme Court also granted Allahbadia liberty to approach local police in Maharashtra and Assam for protection of his life and liberty in the event of any threat, to enable him to join the investigation.

The top court's order on Ranveer Allahbadia on Tuesday, however, was not a clean slate for him....
