Several cases have been registered across the nation against Allahbadia over his controversial comments. The parliamentary standing committee on communication and information and technology is also likely to summon influencer Ranbir Allahbadia over his controversial “sex with parents” remark. According to sources, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Priyanka Chaturvedi and other senior leaders suggested that the panel should summon the well-known YouTuber and podcaster, Beer Biceps.
Chaturvedi said crossing limits in the name of comedy was not acceptable, adding that she’d raise the matter in Parliament during the ongoing budget session.
Government sources have said that initial action has been taken and the episode concerned of Samay Raina’s India’s Got Latent has been taken down. They added that further action will be taken case by case.
WHAT IS THE ROW
The 31-year-old influencer had, however, issued an apology after his out-of-line questions and remarks on Samay Raina’s India’s Got Latent not only sparked outrage but also led to formal complaints.
Allahbadia left viewers stunned with his crude remarks, asking a contestant about the “size of his p****” and even offered ₹2 crore if he “sucked his d***”. But he didn’t stop there. He went on to pose an outrageous question lifted from a recent episode of a YouTube show. The question was: “Watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life. Or would you join in once and stop it forever?”
“My comment wasn’t just inappropriate, it wasn’t even funny. Comedy is not my forte. I am just here to say sorry,” said Allahbadia after his questions and remarks sparked outrage on social media.
