The Rajasthan High Court has given Aman Chopra temporary protection from arrest in two of the three FIRs filed against him for allegedly airing a talk show called "Desh Jhukne Nahi Denge" and then posting about it on his Twitter account. This is said to have caused trouble between different groups and riots on April 22, 2022, in Alwar.

High court stated that Since the subsequent FIRs for same cause of action and their investigation are itself not sustainable/permissible, in view of the judgments of the Supreme Court (supra), there is no question that petitioner need not get protection from being arrested in these cases.....

“Issue notice to the informant/respondents, through both the process. If the requisites of notice is filed in course of the day, the rule be made returnable within two weeks. Learned Public Prosecutor accepts notice on behalf of the State-respondents. He shall file reply to the petition within two weeks.”
