The influencer shared a photo from Mumbai airport on social media, flaunting his luggage and excitement for his first international trip since the controversy erupted. In another image from his Instagram post, he was seen reclining in a first-class seat wearing a cat eye patch, with the caption:
“passport mil gya guys” (Got my passport, guys).
Passport Returned After Investigation Ends
The Supreme Court had previously seized Allahbadia’s passport in February 2025, following backlash over vulgar remarks made on comedian Samay Raina’s ‘India’s Got Latent’ YouTube show.
On Monday, the legal counsel for Assam and Maharashtra informed the Court that the investigation had concluded, prompting the return of his passport and clearing him for international travel. However, the bench instructed Allahbadia to continue cooperating with authorities until the chargesheet is filed.
