Babu Gappi Viral Video: Agra YouTuber Apologises to Women Over Objectionable Remarks

An Agra-based YouTuber known as Babu Gappi has issued a public apology to women after the Uttar Pradesh State Women's Commission issued him a notice over remarks made in a comedy video that went viral on social media. The YouTuber, whose real name is Bhola Gurjar and who lives in Agra's Rambagh area, is known for his comedy content on the channel Ghapad Sapad.

The controversy stemmed from a sketch in which his character made objectionable comments about women while joking about becoming a doctor.

What The Video Showed

In the video, Gurjar's character says that after failing to secure a government job, he decided to become a doctor instead. The character then goes on to make indecent remarks about women, suggesting he would use the pretext of administering injections as a way to see women's private parts. Gaya Viral Video Case: Main Accused Rehan Surrenders Before Patna Police; Here's Why.
