The Supreme Court on Monday pulled up stand-up comedian Samay Raina for allegedly making derogatory remarks about persons with disabilities.

A bench directed Raina and four other comedians, Vipul Goyal, Balraj Paramjeet Singh Ghai, Nishant Jagdish Tanwar, and Sonali Thakkar (also known as Sonali Aditya Desai), to tender an unconditional apology on their YouTube channels and other social media platforms, according to the news agency ANI. 

The order comes after a plea by Cure SMA Foundation of India, which accused the comedians of mocking people suffering from Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), a rare genetic disorder, and other disabilities during a show.
