Controversy
In 2016, Satyarup was initially denied the certification having climbed the Everest due to the alleged forgery of Rathod couple from Maharashtra. Satyarup lodged a complaint against the police couple who morphed his pictures from the summit. After thorough investigation, a case was lodged against the duo under Section 66(d) of Information Technology Act, 2008. A ten years ban from mountaineering was imposed on the couple by Nepal Tourism.
