Ranveer Allahbadia Controversy

February 18, 2025 – The Assam Police Crime Branch visited Pune to serve a legal notice to stand-up comedian and YouTuber Samay Raina regarding his involvement in the controversial YouTube show India’s Got Latent. The show, which has drawn criticism for allegedly promoting obscenity and offensive content, has sparked a heated debate online, especially after Ranveer Allahbadia’s controversial remarks on the platform.

Crime Branch’s Action in Pune

A Crime Branch team from Assam reached Pune and visited Samay Raina’s residence to serve him the notice. In a video shared by ANI, officials were seen inspecting the area around Raina’s home and taking photographs as part of their legal procedures.

However, reports suggest that Samay Raina is currently in the US, and he has requested additional time to respond to the notice and appear before the authorities.

What Is the India’s Got Latent Controversy?

The controversy began when Ranveer Allahbadia, a well-known YouTuber and podcaster, made controversial remarks during an episode of India’s Got Latent, a reality show on YouTube. Critics argue that the show crossed the line of decency, with several individuals facing legal action over its content.

Assam Police initiated a case against multiple individuals associated with the show, citing violation of obscenity laws and offensive content that could potentially hurt public sentiments.

Samay Raina’s Response

While Samay Raina has not made any public statements regarding the notice, sources suggest that he has cooperated with authorities and is expected to issue a formal response soon.

What’s Next?

With the legal proceedings unfolding, this case could set a precedent for content creators and free speech debates in India. Meanwhile, Ranveer Allahbadia and others involved in the controversy may also face further scrutiny.
