Mumbai View On This:
Actor Raghu Ram recently appeared before the Maharashtra Cyber Department as part of an investigation into controversial remarks made by podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia on the YouTube show India’s Got Latent, hosted by comedian Samay Raina.
The show, which has since been deleted, featured content creators like Ashish Chanchlani, Jaspreet Singh, and Apoorva Mukhija (known as “The Rebel Kid” on Instagram). During one episode, Allahbadia, popularly known as “BeerBiceps,” sparked widespread outrage with a controversial question directed at a contestant: “Would you rather watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life or join in once and stop it forever?”
Following the backlash, Allahbadia apologized, attributing the remark to a lapse in judgment.
Raghu Ram, who was part of the judges’ panel in one of the episodes, reportedly told the cyber cell that Samay Raina should have edited out the abusive language used during the show. He also admitted to regretting his own use of inappropriate language on the program.
The incident has drawn significant attention, raising questions about the boundaries of content in digital media and the responsibilities of creators and hosts.
Here’s a more natural and human-readable version of the information:
Cops Find Ranveer Allahbadia’s Mumbai Flat Locked
On Friday, teams from the Mumbai and Assam police visited Ranveer Allahbadia’s residence in Mumbai’s Versova neighborhood but found the flat locked. A police officer informed PTI that Mumbai authorities had initiated an inquiry and went to his apartment to question him.
The day before, on Thursday, Allahbadia had been asked to report to the Khar police station in Mumbai to record his statement. However, he later requested that the questioning be conducted at his home instead. His request was denied, and when he failed to appear at the police station, the cops issued a second summons and proceeded to visit his residence.
The Assam police are seeking to question the 31-year-old podcaster in connection with a case filed by a resident of the city. The complainant has accused Allahbadia of promoting obscene content on an online platform accessible to the public.
Besides Allahbadia, others named in the Assam case include comedian Samay Raina, content creators Ashish Chanchlani, Jaspreet Singh, and Apoorva Makhija (also known as “The Rebel Kid”).
The incident highlights the ongoing scrutiny of digital content creators and the legal challenges they face over controversial material.
