Comedian and YouTuber Samay Raina appeared before the Maharashtra Cyber Cell on Friday in connection with an ongoing investigation into his controversial YouTube show, India's Got Latent. Raina had previously visited the Cyber Cell on March 24 and was seen entering the office again today. The investigation revolves around allegations that the show promotes obscenity and vulgar content.

The controversy erupted earlier this month after an FIR was filed against multiple individuals linked to India’s Got Latent, including Raina, YouTubers Ashish Chanchlani, Ranveer Allahbadia, and others. The complaint alleges that the show featured sexually explicit discussions and made obscene content publicly accessible on YouTube.

Amid legal troubles, Raina announced the rescheduling of his India tour via Instagram, assuring fans that ticket refunds would be issued. "Hey everyone, I am rescheduling my India tour. Refunds will be processed soon—see you all soon," he wrote. Joint Police Commissioner Ankur Jain confirmed that notices had been served to several individuals named in the FIR, including Raina, Chanchlani, and Allahbadia. "Despite being served notices, they have not complied. We are proceeding as per legal protocols and will take necessary action," Jain stated.

Previously, in February, Ashish Chanchlani had appeared before the Guwahati Crime Branch, where his statement was recorded. Additionally, Rakesh Sawant, another participant on India’s Got Latent, was summoned by the Maharashtra Cyber Cell and recorded her statement on March 27. The show faced intense backlash following controversial remarks made by Ranveer Allahbadia in a recent episode. His comment about a contestant’s parents went viral, sparking widespread criticism on social media.

In response, Allahbadia issued a public apology, admitting his remark was inappropriate and lacked humor. "My comment was not just inappropriate, but also unfunny. Comedy is not my strong suit—I sincerely apologize," he said. Acknowledging concerns over his influence on younger audiences, Allahbadia pledged to be more responsible with his platform. "Family is the last thing I would ever disrespect," he added.
