NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court of India is scheduled to hear a petition on February 21, filed by social media influencer Ranveer Allahbadia, regarding the controversy surrounding the show ‘India’s Got Latent.’ The petition seeks legal relief against multiple FIRs registered against him.
YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia sought Supreme Court intervention after receiving death threats over his remarks on a now-deleted YouTube show. Despite his plea, the court denied an urgent hearing, stating that “oral mentioning of the case is not permitted.”
YouTuber Ranveer Allahabadia, aka BeerBiceps, Today (Feb 14) approached the Supreme Court after facing multiple FIRs for his “obscene and vulgar” remarks on India’s Got Latent. The Assam and Mumbai Police have booked him alongside other influencers, including Ashish Chanchlani and Samay Raina. However, CJI Sanjiv Khanna refused an urgent hearing, stating that the case will follow the standard procedure.
YouTuber Samay Raina summoned for the second time by Maharashtra’s cyber cell over podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia’s controversial remark on India’s Got Latent. A viral clip featuring a shocking question about parental intimacy triggered outrage, leading to legal action and debates on free speech. While Allahbadia apologized, Raina deleted all episodes and assured cooperation. The case has now reached Parliament, with authorities summoning over 40 people, including influencers and show producers.
The National Commission for Women (NCW) summoned Ranveer Allahabadia, Samay Raina, and others over offensive remarks made on a show. NCW chief Vijaya Rahatkar strongly condemned the language used and emphasized the need for stricter content regulation. She stated that the commission has written to the IT Ministry regarding the issue. The NCW is taking the matter seriously and is pushing for action against such content.
The All Indian Cine Workers’ Associations (AICWA) has urged Union Home Minister Amit Shah and I&B Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw to ban the YouTube show India’s Got Latent. AICWA has written a letter demanding strict action against the show’s creators. The association alleges that the content is inappropriate and harmful to the industry. They seek immediate intervention to prevent its circulation.
The Parliamentary IT panel in New Delhi is contemplating summoning YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, known as BeerBiceps, following his controversial remarks on “India’s Got Latent.” MP Naresh Mhaske advocated for new guidelines for online content. After public backlash, YouTube removed the video, and Allahbadia issued a public apology. Police investigations are ongoing.
