Mumbai: A complaint in Mumbai has been registered against ‘Beer Biceps’ YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, social media influencer ‘Rebel Kid’ Apoorva Mukhija, comedian Samay Raina, and the organisers of the show India’s Got Latent over the alleged use of ‘abusive language’ on the show.

The complaint, which has been filed with the Mumbai Commissioner and Maharashtra Women’s Commission, has demanded strict action against the accused mentioned in the letter.

Content creators Ashish Chanchlani, Jaspreet Singh and Apoorva Mukhija, along with ‘Beer Biceps podcaster, had featured on one of the episodes of Raina’s show.

During the show, Allahbadia posed a ‘would you rather’ question to a contest about sexual or intimate relationship between their parents. His remarks went viral on social media, with netizens spewing fire at Allahbadia.

Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis was also asked about the podcaster’s remarks by reporters. To this he said, “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 said that the Indian society has some rules and if someone violates them, then it is considered to be “absolutely wrong”, adding that action should be taken against them.

Several netizens reacted to clips of the show. One such comment read, “Freedom of speech is a double-edged sword. Sadly sometime its allows for the propagation of mediocrity and shock value masquerading as content.”
