Ranveer Allahbadia, aka BeerBiceps, appeared before Maharashtra Cyber at the Maharashtra Cyber Cell Headquarters in Navi Mumbai today (February 24, 2025) to record his statement in connection with his vulgar remark on Samay Raina's India's Got Latent.

Along with Allahbadia, YouTuber Ashish Chanchlani, who was also a guest panelist on India's Got Latent, arrived at the headquarters to record his statement. Earlier, the cyber cell had issued Ranveer a second summons after he failed to respond to the initial summons and was absent before the Khar police in Mumbai on February 17.

Allahbadia, who has secured interim protection from arrest from the Supreme Court in the India's Got Latent case, was seen exiting the Maharashtra Cyber office in the afternoon, dressed in casuals and covering his face with a face mask. BeerBiceps, 31, reportedly recorded statement for 4 hours in the Latent row.

Navi Mumbai: YouTubers Ashish Chanchlani and Ranveer Allahbadia approached Maharashtra Cyber Cell on Monday to record their statements in connection with the ongoing India's Got Latent controversy.

The two were summoned following their involvement in allegedly promoting obscenity and engaging in sexually explicit discussions on the publicly accessible YouTube show, 'India's Got Latent' show.

"Ashish Chanchlani and Ranveer Allahbadia contacted Maharashtra Cyber Cell officials.

Both told the officials that they wanted to record their statements. Maharashtra Cyber Cell has sent summons to both of them to record their statements today" as per the Maharashtra Cyber Cell.

As per reports, Ranveer Allahbadia and Ashish Chanchlani were questioned for nearly 4 hours by the officials. Ranveer was seen rushing into his car, in a bid to avoid media persons after recording his statement.

Also, an FIR was filed against Samay Raina, Apoorva Mukhija and all other individuals associated with 'India's Got Latent' show.

According to Yashasvi Yadav, Inspector General, Maharashtra Cyber Cell, 42 individuals, including artists, producers, and influencers, have been summoned for questioning in connection with the matter so far. Statements have already been recorded from key figures, including Devesh Dixit and Raghu Ram.

'India's Got Latent' became controversial following podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia's guest appearance.

Allahbadia's question to a contestant, asking, "Would you rather watch your parents... or join in once and stop it forever?" sparked widespread outrage, leading to a formal complaint being filed against Allahbadia, Raina, comedian Apoorva Makhija, and the show's organisers.

On February 18, the Supreme Court weighed in on the matter, strongly condemning Allahbadia's remarks. Justices Surya Kant and N Kotiswar Singh described the comments as "dirty and perverted," adding that such behaviour must be unequivocally condemned.

The episodes of 'India's Got Latent' have been removed by host, Samay Raina.
