The National Commission for Women (NCW) has summoned YouTubers Ranveer Allahabadia, Samay Raina, Ashish Chanchalani and others over controversial comments made on the YouTube show India’s Got Latent. The hearing is scheduled for February 17.
The Maharashtra Cyber Cell has also registered a case against the show. “A case has been filed against a total of 30 to 40 people. A case has been filed against all the people who were involved from the first episode of the show to episode 6. The process of sending notices to everyone has been started. Everyone will be called to record their statements,” the Maharashtra Cyber Cell said.

The controversy erupted after a clip from the show went viral. In it, Ranveer Allahabadia, popularly known as Beer Biceps, asked a contestant, “Would you rather watch your parents have sex every day or join them to finish it once and for all?”
The remark was met with immediate backlash from viewers, who demanded action against the YouTubers for their offensive content. Following the uproar, Ranveer Allahabadia issued a public apology.
The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting on Tuesday said that the controversial content was removed from YouTube.
