Google has informed the High Court that the removal of Dhruv Rathee's video, which allegedly disparaged deities, was executed as per the directive of the Grievance Appellate Committee. This decision came months after Rathee uploaded the video on March 21.

The content of the video reportedly insulted figures such as Lord Ram and Sita, leading to its withdrawal.
