The Maharashtra Cyber officials have recently had a lengthy conversation with popular YouTubers, Ranveer Allahbadia and Ashish Chanchlani. The duo was summoned to the cyber headquarters in Navi Mumbai to provide their statements regarding the controversial remarks made on Samay Raina's YouTube show, India's Got Latent. This incident has sparked an obscenity case and has caused quite a stir in the media.
Allahbadia and Chanchlani appeared separately at the headquarters, after skipping their previous summons. They arrived at around 11:30 am and their statements were recorded by the officials. Both of them chose to leave the premises in different modes of transportation, with Allahbadia wearing a black face mask to avoid any unwanted attention from the media.
The investigation, conducted by the Maharashtra Cyber and Mumbai Police, revolves around Allahbadia's crude comments about parents and sex on the show. These remarks have caused widespread backlash and have resulted in more than 50 people, including guests, judges, and social media influencers, being summoned for questioning.
The Supreme Court has granted Allahbadia interim protection from arrest, stating that his remarks were vulgar and reflected a "dirty mind" that shamed society. They have also directed him to cooperate with the ongoing investigations and deposit his passport with the Thane police to prevent him from leaving the country without permission. The hearing for this matter has been scheduled for March 3.
Several FIRs have been filed against Allahbadia, including one on February 17 in Guwahati for the alleged promotion of obscenity in a publicly accessible online show. Along with Allahbadia and Raina, other names involved in the case include Chanchlani, comedians Jaspreet Singh and Apoorva Makhija, and guest Rakhi Sawant.
Sawant, who was summoned to appear before Maharashtra Cyber on February 27, was unable to attend due to safety and logistical concerns. The National Commission for Women had also summoned Allahbadia, Raina, and others to appear before them on February 17. However, many were unable to attend in person and Allahbadia's hearing has been rescheduled to March 6, after his request for a three-week postponement due to death threats.
