PUNE: A team of Assam Police has arrived in Pune to serve summons to popular comedian Samay Raina in connection with a case filed against him over his YouTube reality show, *India’s Got Latent*. The show, which features budding comedians, has come under fire for crass remarks made by guest Ranveer Allahbadia, widely known as ‘BeerBiceps’ on YouTube.
The controversy erupted after Allahbadia made inappropriate comments about parents and sex during an episode of the show. The remarks sparked widespread outrage, prompting multiple complaints from viewers. Assam Police registered a case against Raina following these complaints, citing the need to address the offensive content.

Samay Raina, who resides in Pune’s Balewadi area, is now required to respond to the summons. The Assam Police team is expected to complete the legal formalities in Pune before returning to Guwahati.
The incident has reignited debates about the boundaries of comedy and free speech on digital platforms. While some argue that comedians should have the freedom to explore edgy content, others emphasize the need for accountability, especially when content crosses societal norms.
Raina, known for his witty humor and engaging content, has yet to make a public statement regarding the summons. Meanwhile, Ranveer Allahbadia, who is also under scrutiny for his remarks, has not commented on the legal action either.
This case highlights the growing scrutiny of digital content creators in India, as authorities increasingly hold them accountable for controversial material. With the rise of online platforms, the line between creative expression and offensive content continues to blur, leading to complex legal and ethical challenges.
As the situation unfolds, fans and critics alike are keenly watching how Raina and Allahbadia navigate this legal hurdle. The outcome of this case could set a precedent for how similar issues are handled in the future.
