Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 15 (ANI): Comedian Samay Raina and podcaster Ranveer Allahabadia on Tuesday appeared before Maharashtra Cyber office in Mumbai and recorded their statements in connection with the case filed against them for allegedly promoting obscenity and vulgar content on YouTube show 'India's Got Latent'.

The show came under intense scrutiny after controversial remarks were made by Ranveer Allahbadia during a recent episode.Allahbadia's comment about a contestant involving their parents quickly went viral and was met with widespread criticism on social media.

The podcaster later issued a public apology, acknowledging that his comments were not only inappropriate but lacked humour.
