The Maharashtra Cyber Cell confirmed that Ranveer Allahbadia and Ashish Chanchlani voluntarily reached out to provide statements.
The agency had earlier issued summons concerning India’s Got Latent controversy.
The uproar began when a now-deleted episode of India’s Got Latent featuring Allahbadia, Samay Raina, Apoorva Mukhija, and Jaspreet Singh went viral.
Allahbadia’s remarks about parents and sex triggered a backlash, leading to FIRs in Maharashtra and Assam and intervention from the National Commission for Women (NCW).
The NCW summoned all involved creators for a hearing.
On February 18, the Supreme Court granted Allahbadia interim protection from arrest while condemning his statements as “vulgar.”
Following public pressure, Samay Raina deleted all India’s Got Latent episodes from YouTube.
Conclusion
As legal proceedings continue, Ranveer Allahbadia and others remain under scrutiny.
The case has sparked discussions on free speech and digital content accountability, and authorities are actively investigating the matter.
