The Hindu
Mumbai Police investigate controversial comments by Ranveer Allahbadia, summoning social media influencers and guests for probe.
The Mumbai Police have so far recorded the statements of seven persons, including social media influencer Apoorva Mukhija, in connection with controversial comments made by Ranveer Allahbadia on YouTube show "India's Got Latent", officials said on Thursday (February 13, 2025).
The development comes a day after the Maharashtra Cyber Department registered an FIR against the show over allegations of offensive content.
Social media influencer Mr. Allahbadia is likely to appear before the city police in a day or two, they said.
Nilotpal Mrinal Pandey, a functionary of the Maharashtra BJP’s Uttar Bhartiya Morcha, filed a complaint against Mr. Allahbadia and others. He alleged that derogatory language was used against persons with disabilities on the show. He, being a person with disability himself, demanded strict action against the participants.
A team of the Assam Police is in also Mumbai to investigate a case in connection with the controversy, an official said.
The team visited Khar police station here on Wednesday (February 12, 2025) and also met senior police officials, he said.
The Guwahati Police on Monday (February 10, 2025) registered a case against Mr. Allahbadia and four others.
