Wed Feb 12 18:04:55 UTC 2025: ## Mumbai Police File FIR Against Ranveer Allahbadia, Samay Raina, and Others for Obscene YouTube Content
**Mumbai, India** – A second FIR has been filed against podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia, comedian Samay Raina, and 30 other individuals involved in the YouTube show “India’s Got Latent.” The Maharashtra Cyber police have invoked Section 67 of the Information Technology Act, citing the alleged use of obscene and foul language in the show’s six episodes. The initial controversy stemmed from a question posed by Allahbadia during an episode, prompting widespread condemnation. Following a public apology, the incident escalated, leading to the first FIR in Assam earlier this week and now the Maharashtra case. All those named, including hosts, judges, participants, and other artists, will be summoned for questioning. Raina, currently touring internationally, has deleted all episodes of the show from his YouTube channel and pledged cooperation with authorities. This follows the Mumbai Police questioning several participants, including popular content creators. The incident has sparked a national debate on freedom of speech versus obscenity in digital content, with several high-profile figures expressing their outrage. Meanwhile, Mumbai also reported its first death from Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS), raising the Maharashtra death toll to eight. Other unrelated news includes strong freight loading figures for Central Railway and a threat call against Prime Minister Modi.
