YouTubers Ranveer Allahbadia, Apoorva Makheja, and Samay Raina are expected to appear before the Maharashtra Cyber Cell today to record their statements regarding the ongoing India’s Got Latent controversy. According to sources, the trio has been in communication with cyber police officials and is set to arrive at the designated time.
Ranveer Allahbadia’s Previous Statement & Apology
Earlier, Ranveer Allahbadia recorded his statement at the Navi Mumbai Cyber Police Office alongside fellow accused Ashish Chanchlani. Following the inquiry, Ranveer apologized to the police, admitting that his remarks were inappropriate and unethical.
Samay Raina Takes Action
After the controversy erupted due to Ranveer’s offensive comments on the show, Samay Raina removed all episodes of “India’s Got Latent” from YouTube. Additionally, the Supreme Court has restricted Raina and his associates from releasing any content on YouTube or other platforms until further notice.
Samay Raina’s Statement on X
Raina took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to address the issue, stating:
“It has been extremely difficult for me to handle everything happening right now. I have removed all episodes of ‘India’s Got Latent’ from my channel. My only intention was to entertain and make people laugh. I will fully cooperate with the authorities to ensure a fair and transparent investigation.”
Rakhi Sawant Skips Cyber Cell Summons
Actress Rakhi Sawant, who was summoned by the Maharashtra Cyber Cell for questioning, failed to appear, citing her stay in Dubai.
In response to the summons, Rakhi posted a video on Instagram, saying:
“There is no point in summoning me. You can video call me, and I will answer your questions. I was invited as a guest on the show and didn’t use any abusive language. So, why summon me?”
Rakhi Sawant’s Reaction
Referring to herself as a “beggar”, Rakhi claimed she had no financial means and no job opportunities in Dubai. She further stated:
“Calling me in for questioning serves no purpose. I have committed no crime. I am a respectable artist.”
Notably, Rakhi Sawant appeared as a judge on “India’s Got Latent”, and several of her clips from the show have gone viral on social media.
