Samay, Ranveer, Ashish & others booked amid row over vulgar remarks
The internet is abuzz with controversy once again, as a police case has been filed in Assam against a group of popular YouTubers for allegedly promoting obscenity and engaging in sexually explicit and vulgar discussions. The FIR, which has sent shockwaves across the online community, names Samay Raina, Ranveer Allahbadia, Apoorva Mukhija, Ashish Chanchlani, and Jaspreet Singh as accused.
The controversy revolves around an episode of ‘India’s Got Latent’, a popular web series that features discussions on various topics, including relationships, sex, and social issues. During one of the episodes, Allahbadia, who is a popular lifestyle and entertainment YouTuber, made a joke about watching his parents having sex. The joke, which was widely shared on social media, sparked outrage among netizens who felt that it was inappropriate and disrespectful.
The FIR, which was filed at the Jalukbari police station in Guwahati, Assam, alleges that the accused content creators engaged in “vulgar and obscene” discussions during the episode, which was streamed live on YouTube.
