The Maharashtra Police’s cyber cell has asked Ranveer Allahbadia to join the investigation on February 24. The cyber cell is investigating Allahbadia and others after he triggered an uproar with his offensive remarks on the show India’s Got Latent.

Earlier, the Mumbai and Guwahati Police had said in a joint statement the Youtuber and podcaster Allahbadia was “continuously out of contact with the investigative agencies”.

He has been named in FIRs filed by Maharashtra Cyber Department, Guwahati Police, and Jaipur Police in the India’s Got Latent case, the police said.

The Supreme Court in its hearing today said that such behaviour has to be condemned.

“Just because somebody thinks he becomes so popular and can speak any kind of words, can take entire society for granted? Is there anyone on earth who will like this language? There is something very dirty in his mind which has been vomited,” the apex court said.
