**Mumbai, India** – Popular YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, known as BeerBiceps, is embroiled in a major controversy following a sexually explicit joke he made on the YouTube show “India’s Got Latent.” The incident has led to police investigations, public outcry, and calls for stricter regulations on online content.

Allahbadia’s joke, which involved a question about watching one’s parents have sex, sparked widespread outrage and prompted host Samay Raina to remove all episodes of the show from his YouTube channel. Following a complaint filed in Mumbai, police visited Allahbadia’s residence, and an FIR was also registered in Assam. A parliamentary panel is reportedly considering summoning Allahbadia to address the issue.

The controversy has drawn condemnation from numerous high-profile figures, including Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, actors Rajpal Yadav and Raza Murad, singer Praak, and filmmaker Ashoke Pandit. They have criticized the joke’s vulgarity and called for greater responsibility from influencers. The National Commission for Women and the National Human Rights Commission have also intervened, issuing summons and urging YouTube to remove the offending video.

The Maharashtra Cyber Cell has filed a case against approximately 30-40 individuals associated with the show, including other influencers like Ashish Chanchlani and Apoorva Makhija. Assam Police have also sent a team to Mumbai to assist in the investigation.

Allahbadia has issued a public apology, stating that his comment was inappropriate and that comedy is not his forte. Despite this, he has seen a significant drop in followers across his social media platforms. The incident has reignited the debate surrounding freedom of speech online and the need for stronger regulations to prevent the spread of offensive and harmful content. The controversy continues to unfold, with further legal and political ramifications anticipated.
