India’s Got Latent controversy
A controversy broke out after YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia (BeerBiceps) made allegedly offensive comments about parents and sex on a now-deleted YouTube show. FIRs were filed against him, Ashish Chanchlani, Apoorva Makhija and Samay Raina for promoting obscenity and explicit content. The Maharashtra Cyber Cell summoned all four.
While Raina initially missed his summons due to being abroad, he recorded his statement upon return. The Cyber Cell had already taken statements from the other accused earlier as part of the ongoing investigation.
“I will be careful next time such a thing does not happen again. My mental state is not well due to this whole case. My Canada tour also did not go well. I am sorry for what I said, I know what I said is wrong,” The Times of India quoted Samay Raina as telling the authorities.
Soon after the controversy erupted, Samay Raina deleted all India’s Got Latent episodes from YouTube.
“Everything that is happening has been too much for me to handle. I have removed all India’s Got Latent videos from my channel. My only objective was to make people laugh and have a good time. I will fully cooperate with all agencies to ensure their inquiries are concluded fairly. Thank you,” he said in a public statement.
