India’s Got Latent Controversy: Rakhi Sawant, Ranveer Allahbadia, and Ashish Chanchlani Summoned by Maharashtra Cyber Cell

Byadmin

The India’s Got Latent controversy continues to escalate as the Maharashtra Cyber Cell intensifies its probe into the show’s controversial content. Actress Rakhi Sawant, YouTubers Ranveer Allahbadia and Ashish Chanchlani, along with several others, have been summoned for questioning in connection with the case.

Rakhi Sawant Summoned, Uncertainty Over Her Appearance

Rakhi Sawant, who appeared in a few episodes of India’s Got Latent, has been officially summoned by the Maharashtra Cyber Cell. According to IG Yashasvi Yadav, she has been asked to appear before officials on February 27 to record her statement.

However, a major question remains—will Rakhi Sawant return to India? The actress is currently residing in Dubai, and it is unclear whether she will fly back to Mumbai for the inquiry. Her response to the summons remains awaited.

Ranveer Allahbadia & Ashish Chanchlani to Record Statements on February 24

Popular YouTubers Ranveer Allahbadia (BeerBiceps) and Ashish Chanchlani, who were part of the controversial episode, have also been called in for questioning.

  • Ashish Chanchlani has maintained a low profile ever since the controversy broke out.
  • Ranveer Allahbadia, on the other hand, has reportedly gone missing—his phone is switched off, and his house is locked, raising concerns about whether he will comply with the summons.

The cyber cell officials are expected to question them on their involvement in the controversial episode and the nature of their statements on the show.

Samay Raina Requests Virtual Statement, Cyber Cell Rejects His Plea

Stand-up comedian Samay Raina, the showrunner of India’s Got Latent, has also been under intense scrutiny. He was summoned for questioning but requested an extension until March 17 as he is currently touring Canada and the US for his comedy shows.

However, his request to record his statement virtually was rejected by the authorities. He is now expected to return and appear in person before the Maharashtra Cyber Cell.

Interestingly, during his live shows in Canada, Samay Raina has been seen taking subtle jabs at Ranveer Allahbadia, further fueling speculation about possible internal conflicts within the show’s team.

What Sparked the India’s Got Latent Controversy?

The controversy surrounding India’s Got Latent erupted after an offensive segment featuring Ranveer Allahbadia went viral. During an episode, Ranveer asked a contestant a highly inappropriate and vulgar question:

“Would you rather watch your parents have sex for the rest of your life, or would you join in once and stop it forever?”

The so-called joke was met with severe backlash from audiences and netizens, who condemned Ranveer, Samay, and other show members for promoting obscenity and vulgarity. The backlash was swift, with social media users calling for strict action against those involved.

Other guests in the infamous episode included Ashish Chanchlani and Apoorva Mukhija, both of whom have remained silent on the controversy.

FIRs, Complaints, and a Widening Investigation

Following the public outrage, multiple FIRs and complaints were filed against:

  • Samay Raina (showrunner)
  • Ranveer Allahbadia (guest)
  • Ashish Chanchlani (guest)
  • Apoorva Mukhija (guest)
  • Other crew members of India’s Got Latent

The Maharashtra Cyber Cell has now expanded its probe, announcing that 30-40 individuals involved in the show’s first six episodes will be summoned and questioned.

In response to the backlash, Ranveer Allahbadia issued an apology, admitting that there was a “serious lapse in judgment” when he made the comment. However, many netizens refused to accept the apology, calling it damage control.

Meanwhile, Samay Raina deleted all episodes of India’s Got Latent from his YouTube channel in an apparent attempt to contain the controversy.

What’s Next?

As the investigation unfolds, several key developments are expected in the coming days:

🔹 February 24: Ranveer Allahbadia & Ashish Chanchlani to record their statements.
🔹 February 27: Rakhi Sawant’s questioning (if she returns to Mumbai).
🔹 March 17: Deadline for Samay Raina to appear before authorities.
🔹 More summonses: 30-40 individuals linked to the show may be called in for questioning.

The case is becoming one of the biggest cyber-related controversies in recent times, with severe legal implications for those involved.

Will Justice Be Served?

The India’s Got Latent controversy has once again sparked debates about content responsibility on social media platforms. While some argue that comedy and entertainment should have creative freedom, others believe that there must be boundaries to avoid offensive and inappropriate content.

With the Maharashtra Cyber Cell tightening its grip on the investigation, it remains to be seen who will be held accountable and what legal actions will follow.
