Ranveer Allahbadia Seeks Supreme Court Intervention Amid Controversy Over ‘India’s Got Latent’

Days after social media influencer Ranveer Allahbadia found himself embroiled in controversy following his appearance on India’s Got Latent, he approached the Supreme Court seeking relief.

The Supreme Court Hearing

The bench, led by Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna, has scheduled the case to be addressed within the next two to three days. “I have assigned the bench and it will come up in two-three days,” the Chief Justice declared.

The Legal Claim

Advocate Abhinav Chandrachud, representing Allahbadia, asked the bench to consolidate multiple FIRs filed against him and others related to the incident. He mentioned apprehension regarding Allahbadia’s potential arrest based on the actions of Assam Police.

The Controversy

Allahbadia’s remarks on comedian Samay Raina’s show triggered the scandal. The controversial comments were deemed by authorities as containing obscene content, leading to separate FIRs being registered by the Assam and Maharashtra cyber police. Notably, Allahbadia failed to appear before the police in Mumbai despite two summonses.

The missed summons led to a notice being pasted at Allahbadia’s apartment in Versova, Mumbai, compelling him to appear in front of the authorities. A team from the Assam Police accompanied the Mumbai police team on this occasion.

The Police Action

The Maharashtra cyber police have summoned nearly 59 individuals related to the show and will be recording their statements upon their compliance. Friday was the initial summoning date, during which only Raghu Ram attended.

Allahbadia and Raina’s Responses

Both Ranveer Allahbadia and Samay Raina have responded to the controversy. Allahbadia publicly apologized for his remarks by posting a video on social media apologizing for any offense caused. Meanwhile, Samay Raina removed the entire series from YouTube and stated he will cooperate with the authorities. His legal team revealed Raina to be in the United States, with plans to return to India by February 17 to participate in the investigation.

Assam Police Involvement

Notably, an Assam police team is in Pune to issue summons to Samay Raina regarding the deleted episode. This move aims to gather additional evidence pertinent to the allegations.

Conclusion

The legal proceedings involving Ranveer Allahbadia, Samay Raina, and several others involved in the India’s Got Latent scandal illustrate the gravity of such controversies in the digital age. While entertainment can provide immense joy, it must be balanced with responsibility and respect for societal boundaries.

As the Supreme Court prepares to hear Allahbadia’s case, the nation watches to see how the legal system will handle this high-profile matter involving actors and influencers.
