Samay, Ranveer, Ashish & others booked amid row over vulgar remarks
In a shocking turn of events, a police case has been filed in Assam against four popular YouTubers, including Samay Raina, Ranveer Allahbadia, Apoorva Mukhija, Ashish Chanchlani, and Jaspreet Singh, over an episode of their show “India’s Got Latent”. The FIR accuses the content creators of “promoting obscenity and engaging in sexually explicit and vulgar discussion”.
The row erupted after Ranveer Allahbadia made a joke about watching his parents having sex, which sparked widespread outrage on social media. The joke was made during an episode of “India’s Got Latent”, a comedy show that features a group of friends discussing various topics, including relationships and sex.
The FIR was filed by a local resident in Kamrup district, who claimed that the episode was promoting obscenity and was offensive to public decency. The police have booked the four YouTubers under sections 292 and 293 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), which relate to obscene publication and distribution.
The FIR also accuses the content creators of promoting vulgarity and obscenity, and of engaging in sexually explicit discussions that are inappropriate for public consumption. The complainant has demanded that the YouTubers be prosecuted and punished for their alleged offenses.
Samay Raina, one of the accused YouTubers, took to social media to defend himself and his friends. He claimed that the joke was taken out of context and was meant to be a humorous and lighthearted comment. Raina also apologized for any offense caused to those who were upset by the joke.
Ranveer Allahbadia, another accused YouTuber, also responded to the controversy on social media. He claimed that the show was meant to be a comedy and that the joke was meant to be funny. Allahbadia also apologized for any offense caused and claimed that he did not intend to promote vulgarity or obscenity.
The controversy surrounding “India’s Got Latent” has sparked a heated debate about the limits of free speech and the responsibility of content creators to ensure that their content is appropriate for public consumption. Some have argued that the YouTubers were within their rights to make a joke about their parents having sex, while others have argued that the joke was offensive and inappropriate.
The incident also raises questions about the role of social media in perpetuating vulgarity and obscenity. With the rise of social media, content creators have more opportunities than ever to reach a large audience and to share their thoughts and opinions with the world. However, this also means that content creators have a greater responsibility to ensure that their content is appropriate and respectful.
In conclusion, the controversy surrounding “India’s Got Latent” and the FIR filed against the four YouTubers is a reminder of the importance of responsible content creation and the need to ensure that our words and actions do not offend or harm others. While the YouTubers may have intended to make a joke, their words had unintended consequences and sparked a heated debate about the limits of free speech.
