All about India's Got Latent controversy

Earlier this year in February, an FIR was filed against Apoorva Mukhija, YouTubers Ashish Chanchlani, Ranveer Allahbadia, Samay, and others associated with the India's Got Latent show. The FIR was based on allegations of promoting obscenity and engaging in sexually explicit discussions during the publicly accessible YouTube show.

The show came under scrutiny after Ranveer made offensive remarks on the show. During an appearance on India's Got Latent show, the podcaster asked a contestant, "Would you rather watch your parents have sex or join in once and stop it forever?" The video soon went viral on the internet, with social media users slamming him for his remarks.

Following public outrage, multiple police complaints were filed against Allahbadia and other people associated with the show in both Mumbai and Guwahati. The cyber cell and the Mumbai police are conducting separate investigations in connection with Allahbadia's remarks on Reina's YouTube show India's Got Latent. The Maharashtra cyber police had reportedly summoned more than 30 people for questioning after registering an FIR against them. Earlier, Ranveer issued a statement expressing his fear over being subjected to violence as people have barged in his mother's clinic.
