Maharashtra Cyber has ramped up its investigation into the ongoing controversy surrounding influencer Ranveer Allahbadia, with the latest development seeing stand-up comedian Shashwat Maheshwari being called in to record his statement. This move comes amidst growing scrutiny of the provocative content in the show, which has sparked heated discussions on social media.

Earlier, the cyber department had already recorded the statements of other important members involved in the matter, including Raghu Ram and Devesh Dixit, who also had appeared on the show. With the controversy continuing to make waves, authorities are intensifying their probe and questioning individuals who appeared in episodes of the show. The investigation is gaining momentum, and more individuals linked to the case are likely to be summoned in the coming days.  

The accused in the India’s got latent case, Ranveer Allahbadia, Apoorva Mukhija, and Samay Raina are in contact with Maharashtra cyber. They will visit the Maharashtra cyber office today to record their statements. Authorities have allotted time for all accused to submit their testimonies. 

The legal battle over India’s Got Latent has intensified, with the Supreme Court summoning Ranveer Allahbadia, Apoorva Mukhija, and others over alleged obscene remarks related to parental sex. The case, which has sparked widespread debate, has now drawn criticism from well-known figures in the industry.  

Shark Tank judge Anupam Mittal has weighed in on the controversy, criticising video streaming platforms, including YouTube and social media giants, for promoting inappropriate content. In a strong statement, he questioned the algorithms that push such videos to a wider audience, raising concerns over the lack of regulation.

The Supreme Court will hear YouTuber Ashish Chanchlani’s plea on February 21, a day after granting interim relief to podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia in the same case. Chanchlani has moved a writ petition, seeking the cancellation of FIRs registered against him in Assam and Maharashtra, mirroring Allahbadia’s legal move.  

The case stems from controversial remarks made in a recent episode of the YouTube show India’s Got Latent. Chanchlani, who was part of the show, has argued that he was not responsible for the statements in question. His legal team has urged the court to quash the Assam FIR or transfer it to Mumbai, where another FIR was registered earlier.  

Allahbadia had received relief from the Supreme Court after facing similar charges, and now all eyes are on Chanchlani’s hearing. The case has sparked debates over online content regulation and the legal accountability of digital creators.
