As reported by News18, the show was conducted on November 15 at IIT Bhilai, and was packed with students, their parents, and staff members.
A video from the said event went viral on the internet, wherein the comedian can be heard using objectionable remarks and a complaint was registered under him for the same. The IIT management has also filed a complaint against Yash. He started his gig in English, and later turned to Hindi and started using derogatory dialogues in his speech.
