Assam Police has filed a case against YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, comedian Samay Raina, and other influencers for allegedly promoting obscenity on YouTube show ‘India’s Got Latent’. Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma stated that influencers like Ashish Chanchlani, Jaspreet Singh, and Apoorva Makhija are also named in the FIR.

This question triggered immediate backlash, prompting calls for stricter online content regulations. The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) asked YouTube to remove videos containing the controversial remarks.
