The controversy surrounding the viral “₹370 Biryani” incident has taken a serious legal turn, with Gurugram Police registering a fresh FIR against stand-up comedian Pranit More and social media personality Himanshu Jangra. The action comes following a complaint and intervention by the National Commission for Women (NCW), which raised concerns over remarks allegedly disrespectful toward women.
The case, which initially sparked widespread debate on social media, has now expanded into multiple legal proceedings. Authorities have accused the individuals involved of making comments that allegedly undermined women's dignity and attempted to normalize inappropriate attitudes toward consent and relationships.
How the Controversy Began
The issue originated during one of Pranit More’s live stand-up comedy performances. During an interaction with audience member Himanshu Jangra, the conversation shifted to a dating experience. Jangra reportedly mentioned spending around ₹370 on biryani during a date with a woman.
The remarks that followed triggered outrage online. According to critics, Jangra suggested that because he had paid for the meal, he expected intimacy in return. A clip from the performance quickly went viral, drawing sharp criticism from social media users, activists, and women's rights groups.
Online Reactions Intensified the Debate
The controversy expanded beyond the original comedy clip when Dr. Sejal Pawar became involved in the online discussion. While Himanshu Jangra faced criticism for allegedly making offensive jokes about women, Dr. Pawar was also accused of posting inappropriate comments targeting men.
As the backlash intensified, Pranit More released a public video apology, expressing regret over the situation and attempting to address concerns raised by viewers.
Pranit More is a 35-year-old man. He runs these shows and makes his living from them, yet he seems to have no sense of what is right and wrong.

He asks women inappropriate and disrespectful questions. This is not just about ₹370 or Sejal Pawar anymore. People are now also…
Legal Troubles Continue to Mount
The Gurugram FIR is not the first legal action linked to the controversy. Earlier, Maharashtra Cyber Police had already registered a case against Pranit More, Himanshu Jangra, Dr. Sejal Pawar, and several others in connection with the matter.
Following complaints received by the National Commission for Women, the commission reportedly urged Gurugram Police to examine the case. Acting on the complaint, local authorities have now launched a separate investigation and filed a fresh FIR.
Growing Focus on Online Accountability
The case has reignited discussions about the limits of comedy, responsible social media behavior, and the legal consequences of content perceived as offensive or discriminatory. As investigations continue in multiple jurisdictions, the controversy serves as another reminder that viral online content can carry significant real-world consequences.
Authorities have not yet announced any further action, but the ongoing investigations are expected to determine the next legal steps in the matter.
