More details on the legal complaint

The complaint filed with the Mumbai Commissioner and Maharashtra Women’s Commission demands strict action against those named in the letter. For those who do not know, YouTuber Ashish Chanchlani, comedian Jaspreet Singh and Instagram influencer Apoorva Mukhija, along with podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia appeared in an episode of Samay Raina’s show India’s Got Latent.

During the episode, BeerBiceps asked a contestant a controversial “would you rather” question about an intimate relationship between their parents. His remarks quickly went viral, sparking outrage on social media as netizens lashed out at him.

When reporters questioned Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis about the controversy, he responded, “I have come to know about it. I have not seen it yet. Things have been said and presented in a wrong way. Everyone has freedom of speech, but our freedom ends when we encroach upon the freedom of others.” He further stated that Indian society follows certain rules and violating them is “absolutely wrong,” adding that action should be taken against those who do so.
