 Podcaster and entrepreneur Ranveer Allahbadia, widely known as BeerBiceps, is facing intense criticism following his remarks on comedian Samay Raina’s YouTube show, India’s Got Latent. The comments, which went viral, have sparked widespread outrage among netizens and drawn sharp reactions from politicians, who have called for strict action against what they deemed “abusive” and “inappropriate” statements.

Legal Action and Police Investigation

The National Commission for Women (NCW) has summoned Ranveer Allahbadia, along with Samay Raina, Apoorva Makhija, Jaspreet Singh, Ashish Chanchlani, and the show’s producers, Tushar Poojari and Saurabh Bothra, for a hearing scheduled on February 17.

Meanwhile, a team from the Assam Police has traveled to Mumbai to investigate the matter after an FIR was registered against Allahbadia and other panelists.

Key Developments in the Case

• An FIR was filed in Assam against Ranveer Allahbadia, Ashish Chanchlani, Jaspreet Singh, Apoorva Makhija, and Samay Raina, citing "promotion of obscenity and engagement in sexually explicit and vulgar discussions" on the show.
  
  
• Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma confirmed the FIR on X (formerly Twitter), emphasizing the need to uphold public decency in online content.
  
  
• India’s Got Latent, a widely watched YouTube talent show, has come under scrutiny for its content, with growing demands for regulatory intervention.
