Mumbai: YouTube celebrity Ranveer Allahbadia and Ashish Chanchalani on Monday recorded his statement with the Maharashtra Cyber Cell in India’s Got Latent remark row. The Mumbai police had summoned him to join the probe and record his statement in the vulgar remark case.
Ranveer Allahbadia found himself at the center of a huge controversy after he made an objectionable joke involving parents at the latest ‘India’s Got Latent’ episode. Chanchalani was also among the panelists present on the show, alongside Samay Raina, Jaspreet Singh and Apoorva Mukhija.
Ranveer Allahbadia’s “join parents in sex” remark on comedian Samay Raina’s YouTube show triggered a massive controversy. The matter was also raised in Parliament, with the MPs demanding a change in rules governing content on the internet.
Ranveer Allahbadia had apologised over his remark. However, the row escalated. Earlier, Samay Raina, who is abroad, wrote on X that he deleted all India’s Got Latent episodes from his YouTube channel.
Last week, the Supreme Court severely criticised Ranveer Allahbadia for making vulgar remarks on the show, saying such behaviour should be condemned.
Chanchlani had approached the Supreme Court, seeking the transfer of his FIR to Mumbai after a case was registered against him in Assam’s Guwahati. On Friday, the Supreme Court clubbed Chanchlani’s plea with Allahbadia and sent notice to both Maharashtra and Assam.
Last week, Allahbadia’s lawyer informed the Maharashtra Cyber Police that his client was unable to appear to record his statements as he was receiving death threats. Allahbadia has skipped two summonses issued by the Maharashtra Cyber Cell so far.
