Mumbai cyber crime dept issues second summons to You Tuber Ranveer Allahbadia
Allahbadia faced backlash over a controversial question he asked on Samay Raina’s YouTube show, India’s Got Latent
New Delhi, February 24
Podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia has been summoned for the second time by the Maharashtra Cyber Police and directed to appear for questioning.
Allahbadia has skipped first summons to appear before the Khar police in Mumbai on February 17. When a police team, accompanied by Assam Police officers, visited his Versova residence, they found it locked and left a notice instructing him to appear soon. Authorities also reported that his lawyer was unreachable.
Allahbadia faced backlash over a controversial question he asked on Samay Raina’s YouTube show, India’s Got Latent. The episode triggered outrage, leading to multiple FIRs against Allahbadia, Raina, and other celebrities, including Ashish Chanchlani, Jaspreet Singh, and Apoorva Mukhija.
Following the criticism, the episode was taken down, and Allahbadia issued an apology, acknowledging his remarks were inappropriate.
The Supreme Court had granted him interim protection from arrest but strongly condemned his comments, stating they were shameful and reflected a “dirty mindset” that embarrassed society.”
