Ranveer Allahbadia, Ashish Chanchlani summoned over controversial remarks
Podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia and YouTuber Ashish Chanchlani face renewed legal action after their remarks on India’s Got Latent spark backlash
The controversy surrounding podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia’s remarks on comedian Samay Raina’s YouTube show India’s Got Latent has intensified, with the Assam Police issuing fresh summons to Allahbadia and fellow YouTuber Ashish Chanchlani.
According to news agency ANI, both influencers are required to appear before the authorities in connection with allegedly controversial statements made during the show. The remarks sparked backlash, leading to legal scrutiny and widespread social media debates.
Earlier, Assam Police had summoned Allahbadia, but with his failure to comply, fresh notices were issued. Chanchlani, who was also part of the discussion, has now been included in the summons. While details of the specific remarks under investigation remain unclear, reports suggest they were deemed offensive by certain groups.
The controversy erupted after clips from the show circulated online, drawing criticism from various quarters. Supporters of Allahbadia and Chanchlani argue that the discussion was taken out of context, while others believe accountability is necessary for public figures with a large reach.
Neither Allahbadia nor Chanchlani have responded publicly to the latest summons. Meanwhile, legal experts suggest that if the duo fails to comply, further legal action may follow.
With the issue gaining traction, it remains to be seen how the influencers respond to the growing scrutiny.
