Samay Raina Gets A Third Summon From Maharashtra Cyber Cell In IGL Row. More Details Inside!
The controversy first erupted after a highly inappropriate incident involving Ranveer Allahbadia, known as BeerBiceps!
Comedian and YouTuber Samay Raina has been issued a third summon by the Maharashtra Cyber Cell in relation to the ongoing controversy surrounding India’s Got Latent (IGL). The summons, dated for March 24, 2025, comes after Raina failed to appear for a previous summon on March 19. This marks his third notice, and authorities are now insisting on his presence for questioning.
The controversy first erupted after a highly inappropriate incident involving Ranveer Allahbadia, known as BeerBiceps, during an episode of India’s Got Latent. Allahbadia reportedly asked a contestant an explicit question regarding body parts and suggested a sexual act in exchange for a hefty sum of Rs 2 crore. The most shocking moment came when Allahbadia posed a vulgar hypothetical: “Would you watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life or join once to stop it forever?” This statement led to widespread outrage across social media and drew criticism from multiple quarters.
In the wake of the scandal, a police complaint was filed against Ranveer Allahbadia, Samay Raina, and other judges of the show, including Ashish Chanchlani, Jaspreet Singh, and Apoorva Makhija. The FIR accuses the group of promoting obscene content, with charges invoking several sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), India’s criminal code. The case has stirred debate around the boundaries of humor and decency on digital platforms, particularly in comedy-driven formats.
In response to the backlash, both Raina and Allahbadia have distanced themselves from the incident. Allahbadia issued a public apology in a video statement, expressing regret for his actions. Meanwhile, Raina removed all India’s Got Latentepisodes from his YouTube channel and publicly expressed his desire to put the incident behind him. He stated, “Everything that is happening has been too much for me to handle. I will fully cooperate with all agencies to ensure their inquiries are concluded fairly.”
Despite the legal troubles, Samay Raina has continued his professional commitments, with his US and Canada tour being a major focus. His last show, set for March 18 in Boston, marks the end of a successful leg of the tour. Known for his bold humor, Raina’s performance is expected to provide fans with an unapologetic evening of entertainment.
However, the ongoing legal issues have cast a shadow over Raina’s career, and his involvement in the controversy may impact future professional opportunities.
