A Delhi Court has issued a non-bailable warrant against the Youtuber influencer Bobby Kataria, who is being tracked by the police ever since he was seen smoking a cigarette on board a Spice Jet flight last month.


While exclusively speaking to ANI, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Airport Tanu Sharma said that Kataria has been on the run since the case was registered against him.


"Our teams had recently raided one of his locations but he was not found there. Look out circular has already been opened against him. Now, the court has also issued a non-bailable warrant. The police have obtained a non-bailable warrant, now we will arrest him soon," DCP Sharma told ANI.


The video surfaced back in August, where Kataria can be seen smoking a cigarette during the flight. However, the video was said to have been shot in January. The police is tracking him since then.
