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 – Samay Raina, Ranveer Allahbadia, Apoorva Mukhija, Ashish Chanchlani, and Jaspreet Singh – over an episode of their show “India’s Got Latent”. The FIR accuses them of “promoting obscenity and engaging in sexually explicit and vulgar discussion”.
The controversy surrounding the episode began after Ranveer Allahbadia, a popular YouTuber, made a joke about watching parents have sex during a conversation with his co-hosts. The comment sparked outrage on social media, with many users expressing their disgust and disappointment at the content creators’ behavior.
The FIR was filed at the Dispur Police Station in Assam’s state capital, Guwahati, on August 17. The case was lodged on the basis of a complaint filed by a local resident, who alleged that the content creators had committed an offense under Section 294 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), which deals with obscenity.
The FIR states that the content creators had “publicly broadcast and promoted obscene content” on their show, which had caused “public nuisance and disturbance”. The complaint also alleged that the content creators had “used filthy language and made derogatory remarks” against women and children, which was “highly objectionable and unacceptable”.
The FIR names Samay Raina, Ranveer Allahbadia, Apoorva Mukhija, Ashish Chanchlani, and Jaspreet Singh as accused, along with their respective production companies and the show’s producers. The content creators have been accused of promoting obscenity, engaging in sexually explicit and vulgar discussion, and using filthy language in their show.
The controversy has sparked a heated debate on social media, with many users calling for the content creators to be held accountable for their actions. Some users have accused the content creators of promoting a culture of obscenity and disrespect towards women and children, while others have defended them, saying that they were simply exercising their right to freedom of speech.
However, the controversy has also led to a wider discussion about the need for stricter regulations on social media and the content that is shared on these platforms. Many users have called for greater accountability from content creators and social media platforms, and for stricter enforcement of laws and regulations that protect children and women from explicit and obscene content.
In response to the controversy, the content creators have issued an apology, stating that they did not intend to offend anyone and that they respect the values and norms of Indian society. However, many users remain skeptical, and the controversy is unlikely to die down anytime soon.
The FIR against the content creators is a significant development in the ongoing controversy, and it is likely to have far-reaching implications for the future of social media and content creation in India. As the case unfolds, it will be interesting to see how the content creators respond to the allegations and what consequences they face for their actions.
