Popular YouTuber Irrfan ran into a huge controversy when he posted a video announcing the gender of his unborn baby. But he had taken a video of it in Dubai.

Also, the minister said that there is no political background in taking action against Irfan and even if Irfan apologizes this time, we will not let him go. Subramanian said. He also said that the government will not fail to punish the wrongdoers. In that way, the hospital that admitted Irfan has been fined Rs. 50,000, and a notice has been issued banning from providing medicine for 10 days.
