Another legal trouble for YouTubers: Assam Police files FIR over ‘obscene’ remarks on India’s Got Latent

New Delhi: India’s Got Latent, Samay Raina’s viral show on YouTube has been under fire recently. After Ranveer Allahbadia’s ‘vulgar’ joke/statement on the show, everyone included in the episode has become a target of online backlash. For context, the latest episode of India’s Got Latent featured Samay Raina, Ranveer Allahbadia (BeerBiceps), Apoorva Makhija (The Rebel Kid), Ashish Chanchalani, and Jaspreet Singh.
