PIL seeks Saurav Das identity probe
The petitioner claims Yogesh Sharma alias Saurav Das posted derogatory statements against the judiciary, including Supreme Court judges.
They're asking officials to look into his identity, and if he turns out to be a foreign national, even cancel his passport and Aadhaar.
The petition also urges the government to suspend his X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram accounts while things get sorted out.
