India's Got Latent Controversy: Ranveer Allahbadia Gets Third Summon From Mumbai Police

(MENAFN- Live Mint) Mumbai's Khar Police issued a third summon to Youtuber Ranveer Allahbadia over his remark during the comedy show India's Got Latent.

Ranveer Allahbadia has been directed to report to the police station immediately to provide his statement, news agency IANS reported on Tuesday.

Several FIRs have been filed against Allahbadia, popularly known as BeerBiceps, for his controversial comment on parents and sex on comedian Samay Raina's YouTube show "India's Got Latent".

Earlier in the day, the Supreme Court protected Allahbadia from arrest, while severely castigating him for the remarks it described as "showing a perverted mind".

The court berated Allahbadia for his "unacceptable comments" on the show and said, "... there is something dirty in his mind which has been vomited on the YouTube show."

"The words you have used will make daughters, sisters, parents and even the society feel ashamed. It shows a perverted mind. If this is not obscenity, what is it? Why should we quash or club the FIRs against you?" Justice Surya Kant was quoted by PTI as saying.

However, the bench agreed to the submissions of senior advocate Abhinav Chandrachud, representing the influencer, that Allahbadia be protected from arrest keeping in mind the filing of multiple FIRs on the same issue as well as the death threats against him.

"Are you defending the kind of language he has used?" Justice Surya Kant asked Chandrachud, who conceded that he himself was "disgusted".
