In the latest controversy to hit the world of social media, 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 collaborative project, ‘India’s Got Latent’. The FIR accuses them of “promoting obscenity and engaging in sexually explicit and vulgar discussion”.
The controversy started when Ranveer Allahbadia, during an episode of ‘India’s Got Latent’, made a joke about watching his parents having sex. The comment sparked outrage among many viewers, who took to social media to express their disgust and disappointment.
The Assam Police have taken cognizance of the matter and filed an FIR against the four YouTubers under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the Information Technology Act. The FIR was filed at the Assam Police’s Guwahati East Police Station.
In the FIR, the police have accused the YouTubers of promoting obscenity and engaging in sexually explicit and vulgar discussion. The complaint states that the episode was “offensive, indecent and obscene” and that it had the potential to corrupt the minds of young people.
The police have also seized several gadgets and devices from the YouTubers’ residences and offices in connection with the case.
Samay Raina, Ranveer Allahbadia, Apoorva Mukhija, Ashish Chanchlani, and Jaspreet Singh are all popular YouTubers who have millions of followers on the platform. They have collaborated on several projects, including ‘India’s Got Latent’, which is a comedy and entertainment show.
The controversy has sparked a heated debate on social media, with many people calling for the YouTubers to be held accountable for their actions. Others have come to their defense, saying that their comments were taken out of context and that they did not intend to offend anyone.
This is not the first time that the YouTubers have been involved in controversy. Ranveer Allahbadia has previously faced backlash for his comments on women and LGBTQ+ issues.
The Assam Police have assured that they will take strong action against the YouTubers if they are found guilty of promoting obscenity and engaging in sexually explicit and vulgar discussion.
The controversy has also raised questions about the kind of content that is allowed on social media platforms and whether they do enough to regulate the kind of content that is shared.
In conclusion, the controversy surrounding the YouTubers and their comments on ‘India’s Got Latent’ highlights the importance of being mindful of the kind of content that is shared online. While freedom of speech is essential, it is also important to consider the potential impact of one’s words on others.
