Youtuber Ranveer Allahbadia in a petition on Monday sought permission from the Supreme Court to keep airing his programmes on social media. In his plea, Ranveer told the court that this is his only source of livelihood.
The court’s remarks came after the YouTuber’s petition saying that this is his only source of livelihood.
The podcaster stirred up a row with his crass remarks on the YouTube show ‘India’s Got Latent’. The remarks led to multiple FIRs against Allahbadia.
The Maharashtra Cyber and the Mumbai police are investigating Allahbadia’s controversial remarks made on comedian Samay Raina’s show.
On Monday, Allahbadia and Ashish Chanchlani, also a YouTuber, appeared separately before the Maharashtra Cyber to record their statements in the case of obscenity it has registered against them and others, an official said.
“In his statement, Allahbadia admitted that he made a mistake by making controversial comments on the YouTube show, for which he is being criticised,” he said.
The social media influencer also admitted that he made a mistake by using specific words in his comments during the show, the official said.
Allahbadia also told the officials that Samay Raina was his friend and he had gone to the show only for the latter, the official said, adding he also claimed that he did not charge anything to attend the show.
