NCW summons Ranveer Allahbadia, Samay Raina and others over derogatory remarks

The National Commission for Women has summoned Ranveer Allahbadia, Samay Raina and others amid India's Got Latest controversy and has expressed strong concerns over the derogatory and racist comments reportedly made by YouTubers. The disrespectful and inappropriate comments made by content creators including Ranveer Allahbadia, Samay Raina, Apoorva Makhija, Jaspreet Singh, and Ashish Chanchlani, as well as the show's producers Tushar Poojari and Saurabh Bothra, have drawn significant attention from the Commission.

'Particularly in a society that values equality and respect for one another, these remarks, which have provoked intense public indignation, violate the dignity and respect that every person is entitled to,' read NCW's letter. A hearing



has been set up to discuss the content providers' contentious statement on India's Got Latent, per the directives of NCW Chairperson Smt. Vijaya Rahatkar. The hearing will be held at the NCW office in New Delhi on February 17, 2025, at 12:00 pm. 

This has come after the social media influencers and YouTubers came under the radar of netizens, politicians and celebrities over an inappropriate joke made by Allahbadia on the show. The controversial episode was removed from YouTube on Monday night after much backlash. The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) directed YouTube to remove the video after complaints about allegedly offensive language. Considering the ongoing controversy, the show’s producers deleted the much-talked-about episode.
