The Maharashtra Cyber Cell on Wednesday (February 12, 2025) registered a case against YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia and others associated with India’s Got Latent following the controversy surrounding remarks made by Mr. Allahbadia in an episode, which triggered widespread outrage online.
According to the Maharashtra Cyber Cell, approximately 30-40 people (judges of the show) have been booked in connection with the case.
“A case has been registered against approximately 30 to 40 people, encompassing everyone associated with the show from the first episode through to the sixth. Notices are being issued, and all those named will be called upon to provide their statements,” sources told The Hindu.
According to Abhijeet Sonawane, inspector, nodal cyber police station, Samay Raina, along with the jury and all individuals involved in preparing and posting the show on YouTube, have consistently used obscene language, expressions, and actions across all episodes of his channel. “These actions appear to be intended to disrespect the modesty of women, which is deeply rooted in Indian culture and family values.”
“The creators and contributors of the show made deliberate and malicious attempts to insult religious beliefs, hurt religious sentiments, and disrupt public peace and social stability, particularly in Arunachal Pradesh.”
