Mumbai: The Cyber cell of Maharashtra police on Monday summoned YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia to appear before it on February 24.
Official sources said that the Cyber Cell is investigating the case registered against Ranveer Allahbadia and others after he triggered an uproar with his offensive remarks on the show ‘India’s Got Latent.’
Comedian Samay Raina has also been asked to appear before the cyber cell tomorrow.
Multiple FIRs being registered against Allahbadia, Raina, and other participants of the show following the backlash after Allahbadia asked a contestant, “Would you rather watch your parents… or join in once and stop it forever?”
The National Commission for Women (NCW) has also investigated the matter and has issued summons to Allahbadia, Raina, and others.
However, many of those summoned failed to appear before the commission today, citing concerns about their personal safety, prior foreign travel commitments, and other logistical challenges.
The Commission said that Ranveer Allahbadia had informed it that he was receiving death threats and requested a new hearing date after three weeks. The Commission has accepted his request and rescheduled the hearing for March 6.
Apoorva Mukhija has communicated that she fears for her safety and can only attend the hearing virtually. Her lawyer, in an email said that Mukhija will attend in person once the situation stabilizes. The Commission has accepted her request and rescheduled the hearing for March 6.
The Commission said it has accepted Jaspreet Singh’s request. Singh said he is on tour in Paris and will return to India by March 10, 2025, at which point he will cooperate with the Commission’s inquiry. The NCW has rescheduled the hearing for March 11.
The controversy has also led to a formal complaint being filed with the Mumbai Commissioner and the Maharashtra Women’s Commission.
The complaint alleges that the show used abusive language and made obscene remarks about women in an attempt to gain popularity and financial benefit through online broadcasts.
