Coup Incitement! Legal petition demands FIR against Dhruv Rathee for 'Waging War' against India

New Delhi, Oct 16: According to a formal complaint submitted to the Delhi Police on October 15, 2026, by prominent Delhi-based advocate Vivek Garg, massive legal trouble could be brewing for controversial YouTuber Dhruv Rathee. The legal petition demands the immediate registration of a First Information Report (FIR) against the Germany-based creator under stringent provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).

 

 

 

 

The fast-moving development follows an intense nationwide outrage over Rathee’s explosive post-detention remarks. In a viral interview widely covered by renowned networks, Rathee cited the slogan "Educate, Agitate, Organise" and explicitly called upon the Indian Armed Forces, the police, and Bollywood celebrities to collectively stand up against the current regime.

 

The advocate's strongly worded complaint accuses the YouTuber of stepping far beyond democratic dissent to actively abetting and instigating a revolt. The petition flags these statements as a direct, dangerous incitement to the nation's security forces, alleging an open conspiracy to wage war against the state and orchestrate a "coup" against the democratically elected government.

 

 

 

 

 

Furthermore, the legal prayer formally urges senior police officials, including the Delhi Police Commissioner, to urgently probe Rathee’s anti-national connections and foreign funding sources, while demanding the immediate seizure of his passport to prevent foreign evasion.

 

Dhruv Rathee's activities are an unpardonable attack on India’s democratic structure. Delhi Police are currently scrutinizing the legal merits of the document. No official FIR has been registered by authorities yet. However, this formal intervention marks a massive escalation, signaling that the digital influencer's polarizing rhetoric has firmly crossed the line into severe legal jeopardy.
