Samay is presently in the United States, and his advocate requested an extension for his police appearance, but the request was denied. Authorities have instructed Raina to present himself at the earliest opportunity.

The controversy surrounding Ranveer Allahbadia, widely known as ‘Beer Biceps,’ erupted after a viral clip from Samay Raina’s show featured him making an inappropriate remark about sex while speaking to a contestant. The offensive question, which quickly gained traction online, led to widespread outrage against the show and its panelists.

In response to the backlash, Allahbadia issued a public apology, admitting that his comment was both inappropriate and unfunny. In a video message, he stated, “Comedy is not my forte, and it wasn’t cool. I am just here to say sorry.” However, the damage had already been done, and authorities soon stepped in.

Following intervention by the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting (I&B) and the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), the controversial video was taken down from YouTube. Meanwhile, legal trouble for the show intensified, with multiple FIRs being lodged against those associated with it.

As per reports, Mumbai Police visited Allahbadia’s residence on Tuesday as part of their investigation. In addition to Allahbadia, host Samay Raina was accused of engaging in sexually explicit and vulgar discussions, allegedly promoting obscenity through the show. FIRs have also been filed against other prominent social media influencers, including Ashish Chanchlani, Jaspreet Singh, and Apoorva Mukhija, who were linked to the program.

The cybercrime department has now taken up the case and plans to summon all 30 guests who have participated in the show since its inception. The controversy continues to escalate, with authorities delving deeper into the content and nature of discussions aired on the platform.
