Wed Feb 12 18:04:55 UTC 2025: ## YouTuber BeerBiceps Faces Nationwide Backlash After Controversial Joke

**Mumbai, India** – Popular YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, known as BeerBiceps, is facing a storm of criticism and legal action following a controversial joke made on the YouTube show “India’s Got Latent.” The joke, which involved a sexually explicit question about a contestant’s parents, has sparked outrage across India, leading to police investigations, FIRs, and calls for a nationwide crackdown on offensive online content.

Allahbadia’s question, “Would you rather watch your parents have sex for the rest of your life, or would you join in once and stop it forever?” has been widely condemned as vulgar and inappropriate. Following the public outcry, Allahbadia issued a video apology, stating that “comedy is not my forte” and acknowledging a “lapse in judgment.” However, this apology has done little to quell the anger.

Mumbai Police visited Allahbadia’s residence and the show’s filming location, while a parliamentary panel is considering summoning him. Assam Police have also registered an FIR against him and several other participants in the show. The National Commission for Women (NCW) has issued summons to those involved, condemning the remarks as unacceptable. Several other high-profile individuals, including politicians and celebrities, have also voiced their strong disapproval.

The controversy has extended beyond Allahbadia himself. The show’s host, comedian Samay Raina, has removed all related videos from YouTube. A complaint has been filed against multiple individuals involved in the production and broadcast of the show. The Maharashtra Cyber Cell has also filed a case against “India’s Got Latent,” potentially charging 30-40 people involved in the show’s production. The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has requested YouTube to remove the controversial video clip.

The incident has reignited the debate about online content regulation in India, with calls for stricter laws and guidelines for social media platforms and OTT content. The controversy has also prompted discussions about the responsibility of content creators and the potential consequences of their actions. Allahbadia has reportedly experienced a significant drop in social media followers since the incident. The ongoing investigation continues.
