Earlier in the day, Allahbadia (Ranveer Allahbadia) was requested to be present at Mumbai’s Khar Police station. This request followed his failure to appear for questioning in connection with an ongoing investigation into obscene remarks made on the YouTube show ‘India’s Got Latent.’ This case highlights the complexities of content moderation and legal liability in the digital age.

Allahbadia has also approached the Supreme Court, filing a plea to consolidate all the FIRs filed against him across the country. In addition, the YouTuber applied for anticipatory bail, fearing potential action from the Guwahati Police. The Guwahati Police had also summoned him in connection with the same case, indicating the widespread reach of the investigation.

However, the Supreme Court declined to address Allahbadia’s urgent plea to combine multiple FIRs. The court stated that the matter would be taken up in due course, suggesting a more deliberate consideration of the legal issues involved.

The Assam Police have named Allahbadia and four others in their FIR. The charges include allegedly “promoting obscenity and engaging in sexually explicit and vulgar discussion” on the now-deleted YouTube show. This underscores the severity of the allegations and the potential legal consequences.

Allahbadia’s controversial remarks on the comedy show ‘India’s Got Latent’ have provoked widespread condemnation. The remarks have led to multiple obscenity charges across several states, reflecting the broad impact of online content.

Law enforcement agencies, including the Maharashtra Cyber Cell, the Mumbai Police, and the Assam Police, have all issued summons to Ranveer Allahbadia and 29 others. These summons are based on the FIRs filed against them in connection with the obscene remarks controversy. The Mumbai Police has already recorded the statements of Apoorva Makhija and Ashish Chanchlani, showing progress in the investigation.
