Samay, Ranveer, Ashish & others booked amid row over vulgar remarks
In a recent turn of events, four popular YouTubers, including Samay Raina, Ranveer Allahbadia, Apoorva Mukhija, Ashish Chanchlani, and Jaspreet Singh, have been booked by the police in Assam for allegedly promoting obscenity and engaging in sexually explicit and vulgar discussions. The controversy arose after an episode of their web series, ‘India’s Got Latent’, went viral, with many taking umbrage at the explicit jokes and comments made by the content creators.
The FIR (First Information Report) was filed at the Dispur Police Station in Guwahati, Assam, following a complaint by a local resident, who accused the YouTubers of promoting obscenity and engaging in lewd discussions on their show. The complaint alleged that the content creators had crossed the line by making jokes about sensitive topics, including sex and relationships.
At the center of the controversy is Ranveer Allahbadia, a popular YouTuber and influencer, who had joked about watching his parents have sex during an episode of ‘India’s Got Latent’. The joke, which was intended to be humorous, was met with widespread outrage and criticism on social media, with many calling out Allahbadia for his insensitive and inappropriate comments.
Allahbadia’s joke was not the only issue, however. The FIR also accused the other content creators, including Samay Raina, Apoorva Mukhija, Ashish Chanchlani, and Jaspreet Singh, of promoting obscenity and engaging in sexually explicit discussions on their show. The content creators had been discussing sensitive topics, including sex and relationships, on their show, which many felt was inappropriate and offensive.
The controversy has sparked a heated debate on social media, with many calling out the content creators for their inappropriate behavior and others defending their right to free speech. Some have argued that the content creators were simply exercising their right to free speech and that the outrage was unfounded. Others have called for the content creators to be held accountable for their actions and for their content to be taken down.
The Assam Police have taken the complaint seriously and have booked the content creators under sections 292 and 293 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), which relate to obscene publication and sale of obscene objects. The police have also warned the content creators to be more mindful of their content and to avoid promoting obscenity in the future.
The controversy has also sparked a wider debate about the role of social media influencers and content creators in shaping public opinion and promoting certain values and attitudes. Some have argued that social media influencers and content creators have a responsibility to their audience to promote positive and respectful content, while others have argued that they should be free to express themselves as they see fit.
In conclusion, the controversy surrounding Samay Raina, Ranveer Allahbadia, Apoorva Mukhija, Ashish Chanchlani, and Jaspreet Singh highlights the importance of responsible behavior on social media and the need for content creators to be mindful of the impact their content can have on their audience. While the content creators may have intended their jokes and comments to be humorous, they were clearly inappropriate and offensive to many people. The Assam Police have taken the complaint seriously and have booked the content creators under appropriate sections of the IPC. The controversy serves as a reminder of the importance of promoting respect and dignity on social media and the need for content creators to be accountable for their actions.
