Ranveer Allahbadia and Ashish Chachlani along with Apoorva Makhija and Samay Raina were in trouble as FIRs were filed against them regarding their comments on India’s Got Latent. The influencers were summoned by the police and on Monday, Ranveer and Ashish were spotted at the Maharashtra Cyber Cell to record their statements.
A video was shared by ANI which said, “Maharashtra: YouTubers Ashish Chanchlani and Ranveer Allahbadia leave from the Maharashtra Cyber Cell Headquarters in Navi Mumbai after recording their statements in connection with India’s Got Latent case.”
Chanchlani had approached the Supreme Court, seeking the transfer of his FIR to Mumbai after a case was registered against him in Assam’s Guwahati. On Friday, the Supreme Court clubbed Chanchlani’s plea with Allahbadia and sent notice to both Maharashtra and Assam.
Last week, Allahbadia’s lawyer informed the Maharashtra Cyber Police that his client was unable to appear to record his statements as he was receiving death threats. Allahbadia has skipped two summonses issued by the Maharashtra Cyber Cell so far.
While hearing the plea to club all FIRs filed against Allahbadia in Guwahati, Mumbai and Jaipur, the Supreme Court said that the podcaster could approach the police in Maharashtra and Assam in case of any threat to him or his family.
Coming down heavily on Allahbadia, the Supreme Court directed him to join the probe, calling his joke “condemnable and dirty.” “Have you got the licence to speak these kinds of things,” the top court said.
