Assam police registered an FIR against Ranveer Allahbadia, Samay Raina, Ashish Chanchlani over 'obscene' remarks in India's Got Latent show
Ranveer Allahbadia controversy: Assam police on Monday registered an FIR against Ranveer Allahbadia, Samay Raina, and Ashish Chanchlani over 'obscene' remarks made on the show India's Got Latent.
Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma also confirmed the same in a social media post on X. The FIR also names Apoorva Makhija and Jaspreet Singh, who were present on the show.
India's Got Latent's hosts, Samay Raina and Ranveer Allahbadia have been facing intense backlash and trolling following BeerBiceps' “watch parents have sex” remark.
Speaking about the FIR, Guwahati Joint Police Commissioner Ankur Jain said the “strictest measures possible” would be taken, reported ANI.
NHRC Demands Video Removal from YouTube
The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) sent a letter to YouTube asking for the removal of videos containing Ranveer Allahbadia's remarks.
In a letter to YouTube's Head of Public Policy, Mira Chatt, on Monday, Priyank Kanoongo, a member of the NHRC, urged the removal of the video from India's Got Latent show in which social media influencer Ranveer Allahbadia made contentious comments that sparked outrage online.
"You are hereby instructed to take immediate steps to remove the relevant episode or videos from YouTube in light of the aforementioned. In order to take further appropriate action, you must also provide the relevant police authorities where the FIR has been filed with information on the channel and the particular videos before such content is removed," the letter stated.
"The availability of such content on widely accessible platforms, including YouTube, Instagram and Facebook, poses a grave threat to the safety, dignity and the mental well-being of children, including women," the human rights body said in its letter.
Complaint against Ranveer Allahbadia
After Ranveer Allahbadia's video went viral, a Mumbai Police team was dispatched to India's Got Latent studio on Monday.
While speaking to reporters, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said that “action would be taken” against Samay Raina, Ranveer Allahbadia and the other YouTubers on the show.
Ranveer Allahbadia apologises
Following the massive row, Ranveer Allahbadia also issued a video statement, apologising for the crude question. He stated: “My comment was not appropriate, it wasn't even funny. Comedy is not my forte. I am just here to say sorry."
B Praak cancels appearance on Ranveer Allahbadia's BeerBiceps
Ranveer Allahbadia's apology has, however, not found any takers. Renowned singer B Praak, famous for hits like Teri Mitti, publicly announced his withdrawal from an upcoming appearance on BeerBiceps' podcast following backlash.
B Praak took to Instagram to express his disappointment, strongly condemning the content promoted by Ranveer Allahbadia and Samay Raina's India's Got Latent. He revealed that he was originally scheduled to appear on BeerBiceps’ podcast but decided to cancel his participation due to what he described as “pathetic thinking” and offensive language.
