Samay Raina and Ranveer Allahbadia Face Legal Scrutiny Over Controversial Show Content
India's Got Latent episodes removed as legal and public backlash mounts over inappropriate remarks by guest Ranveer Allahbadia.
- The Maharashtra Cyber Department has issued a second summons to comedian Samay Raina after he missed a prior statement recording session regarding the controversy surrounding his YouTube show, India's Got Latent.
- The controversy began after guest Ranveer Allahbadia made an inappropriate comment during an episode, leading to multiple FIRs against Allahbadia, Raina, and others for promoting obscenity.
- Samay Raina has removed all episodes of India's Got Latent from his YouTube channel and expressed regret, stating his intention was only to entertain.
- The Supreme Court condemned Allahbadia's remarks as 'dirty and perverted,' granted him interim protection from arrest, and imposed strict conditions, including the surrender of his passport.
- Comedian Harsh Gujral has also taken down episodes of his show, The Escape Room, which featured similar dark humor, but has not commented publicly on the decision.
