New Delhi: The Parliamentary Information Technology panel is considering summoning YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, also known as BeerBiceps, over his controversial remarks on the show India’s Got Latent. This move comes after multiple MPs filed complaints and FIRs were registered against Allahbadia and comedian Samay Raina regarding the episode’s provocative content.
In Lok Sabha, Shiv Sena MP Naresh Mhaske has raised this issue and said that the government should evolve guidelines for content on such programs on social media.
Following backlash, YouTube removed the video after receiving a notice from the government. MPs Sasmit Patra (BJD) and Priyanka Chaturvedi (Shiv Sena) have been vocal about the issue, calling for stricter accountability on digital platforms.
Chaturvedi criticized the use of abusive language in online content, particularly from influencers with massive followings.
“Any abusive language in the name of comedy content crosses limits and is not acceptable. You get a platform, and that doesn’t mean you will utter anything,”
she said.
Allahbadia’s controversial statement—
“Would you rather watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life or join in once and stop it forever?”
—sparked outrage across the country. The remark was widely criticized as highly inappropriate and vulgar.
Amid mounting pressure, Allahbadia issued a public apology, admitting his mistake.
“My comment wasn’t just inappropriate, it wasn’t even funny. I am just here to say sorry,”
he confessed, acknowledging that comedy is not his strength.
The Mumbai Police have summoned Allahbadia for questioning, with a five-member team visiting his Versova residence. Meanwhile, the Assam Police registered an FIR against the show’s judges and host, alleging that the content promoted obscenity.
Allahbadia’s immense influence on social media—4.5 million Instagram followers and over 10 million YouTube subscribers— has raised concerns about digital content regulation.

BJD MP Sasmit Patra emphasized the need for stronger regulations, stating,
“It is extremely unfortunate… I want stricter guidelines and stricter measures for such disparaging remarks.”
As the controversy unfolds, the Parliamentary IT panel is expected to take swift action, setting a precedent for digital accountability in India.
