IIE DIGGITAL DESK :Popular YouTuber and podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia, also known as BeerBiceps, is facing serious allegations of non-cooperation with the Maharashtra Cyber Police. The controversy stems from a recent episode of the comedy podcast show ‘India’s Got Latent,’ where Allahbadia was involved in a conversation that sparked significant backlash for its inappropriate content. Following public outrage, multiple complaints were reportedly filed against the creators and participants of the show, prompting a formal investigation by cyber authorities.

Ranveer Allahbadia, who commands a large following on social media, was summoned by the Cyber Police along with fellow content creator and comedian Samay Raina. While Raina is said to have cooperated fully with the probe, police sources suggest that Allahbadia has failed to provide adequate responses or attend scheduled hearings. Due to his alleged lack of cooperation, the authorities are now considering legal action if he continues to remain unresponsive.

The incident that triggered the controversy involved a segment on the show where Allahbadia made a remark that was perceived as obscene and offensive by viewers. The backlash was swift, with netizens demanding accountability from digital influencers who have a significant impact on younger audiences. In response to the criticism, Allahbadia released a public apology, stating that he did not intend to hurt anyone’s sentiments and that he would be more mindful of his content in the future.

The case has reignited discussions around the responsibility of digital creators and the growing call for regulation in the Indian digital content space. As the investigation continues, the outcome may set a precedent for how online misconduct by influencers is handled legally and socially.
