Mumbai Police on Tuesday (February 11, 2025) visited YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia’s house in connection with a formal complaint regarding the contentious comments he made during an episode of the YouTube program ‘India’s Got Latent’. The complaint accused Mr. Allahbadia and others of using language that was deemed offensive and contrary to societal norms of decency. The Assam Police too registered a case against them on Monday (February 10, 2025).
YouTuber Ashish Chanchlani’s lawyer Apurva was also seen at the Khar Police Station, where the complaint has been registered. The studio where India’s Got Latent is filmed falls under the jurisdiction of the Khar Police Station.

On Monday (February 10, 2025), Mr. Allahbadia apologised for his controversial remark that led to many calling for a ban on his podcast and politicians, including Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and opposition leaders of the State, criticising him for exploiting freedom of speech.
Mr. Allahbadia — who has over 6,00,000 followers on X, 4.5 million on Instagram and 10.5 million subscribers on his YouTube channel — became one of the trending topics on social media after his comment on Samay Raina’s YouTube reality show “India’s Got Latent” gained traction.

On the comedy reality series, popular among today’s youth for its edgy bordering on offensive content, Mr. Allahbadia asked a question to a contestant on parents and sex, which has been panned by many and led to a BJP functionary lodging a police complaint here against the makers, judges and participants of the show.
