The Mumbai Police have given comedian Samay Raina time till March 10 to appear before them in a probe related to podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia's controversial remarks on YouTube show 'India's Got Latent'.
Ranveer Allahbadia, popular on YouTube for his 'BeerBiceps' channel, landed in a major controversy over his remarks about parents and sex on comedian Samay Raina's now-deleted YouTube show 'India's Got Latent'. At least two FIRs have been registered against Allahbadia and Raina — one in Assam and another in Mumbai.
An unidentified police official said that Khar police have been unable to contact Allahbadia because his phone has been switched off. Teams of Mumbai and Assam Police had visited his residence earlier, only to find it locked.
The official added that Raina's lawyer met senior police officials seeking more time, saying that his client was in the United States.
On the lawyer's request, the police have given him until March 10 to appear before them to record a statement.
Allahbadia had also requested the Khar police to record his statement at his residence, but his request was turned down.
