YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia visited the Crime Branch office at the Guwahati Police Commissionerate on Friday as part of an ongoing investigation into the controversial show ‘India’s Got Latent.’ The show has faced significant legal and public backlash due to its explicit content.

The controversy unfolded after an FIR was lodged by the Guwahati Police on February 10, implicating several prominent influencers and YouTubers, including Ashish Chanchlani, Jaspreet Singh, Apoorva Makhija, Ranveer Allahbadia, and Samay Raina, for allegedly promoting obscenity through their involvement in the program.

The FIR lists charges under various laws, including the Indian Penal Code, the Information Technology Act, and the Cinematograph Act, citing inappropriate and vulgar discussions that took place during the episode.

On February 27, Ashish Chanchlani appeared before the Guwahati Crime Branch with his lawyer, where police officials recorded his statement as part of the investigation. The police initiated a case under Cyber PS case no. 03/2025, alleging the promotion of indecent representation of women and engagement in obscene conduct.

On March 6, the matter intensified as influencers met with the National Commission for Women (NCW) in Delhi. Present were YouTubers Ashish Chanchlani and Ranveer Allahbadia, influencer Apoorva Makhija, and the show’s producers, Saurabh Bothra and Tushar Poojari, who provided statements concerning the controversial remarks made during the show.

The uproar began with a viral incident from the episode that provoked sharp public criticism and calls for stricter online content regulations. The inappropriate remarks made by guests led to widespread outrage, prompting Ranveer Allahbadia and Apoorva Makhija to record statements before the NCW in response to the backlash.

Amid this ongoing legal scenario, Ashish Chanchlani took to social media to thank his fans for their overwhelming support. In a heartfelt Instagram video, he acknowledged the messages he had received and reflected on the challenges he was currently facing.

“Hello doston, kaise ho aap log? I know, maine aapke messages padhe hain, chal raha hai. Maine socha story pe aapse baat kar lun, lekin ab samajh nahi aa raha kya kahun. Lad lenge situation se, dekhe hain aise tough times, isse bhi kuch naya seekh lenge,” Chanchlani stated in the video.

He further requested his followers’ continued support upon his return. “Main aap sabse bas yahi request karta hoon ki meri family aur mujhe apni prayers mein rakhna. Jab bhi main wapas aaun, mera kaam thoda idhar-udhar ho gaya hoga, lekin tab bhi support karna. I will work hard, as I have always worked hard. Bas dhyan rakhiye sab log apna,” he added.

Meanwhile, Ranveer Allahbadia addressed the controversy on social media after facing significant backlash for making inappropriate remarks during ‘India’s Got Latent.’ He issued a public apology on his X (formerly Twitter) account, stating, “My comment wasn’t just inappropriate, it wasn’t even funny. Comedy is not my forte. I am just here to say sorry.”

He emphasized his commitment to utilizing his platform responsibly, particularly in light of his influence on younger audiences: “Family is the last thing that I would ever disrespect,” he affirmed.

Additionally, the Supreme Court has permitted Ranveer Allahbadia to resume his podcast, ‘The Ranveer Show,’ under specific conditions relating to decency and morality.
