Samay Raina to receive summons again from Maharashtra Cyber Department in Ranveer Allahbadia case

Samay Raina receives summons again

Comedian and YouTuber Samay Raina is facing legal trouble once again as the Maharashtra Cyber Department has issued a second summons against him. The issue stems from controversial statements made by Ranveer Allahbadia during his reality talent show, India’s Got Latent. The authorities have accused him of making remarks that violated legal or ethical standards, prompting them to take action.

Why Was Samay Raina Summoned?

Samay Raina was previously summoned but failed to appear before the Maharashtra Cyber Cell for a statement recording session on February 18, 2025. Instead, he requested to attend the hearing via video conference since he was on a comedy tour in the US and Canada. However, his request was denied, and the Cyber Cell insisted that he be present physically for the proceedings. Since he did not comply, a second summons was issued.

What Was the Controversy About?

The controversy revolves around remarks made during India’s Got Latent, a reality show hosted by Samay Raina. His statements were deemed inappropriate and offensive, leading to a public and legal backlash. The situation escalated when Justice Surya Kant and Justice N Kotiwar from the Supreme Court condemned the remarks, calling them “perverted and dirty.” They urged the government to take strict action against inappropriate content on social media.

Additionally, influencer Ranveer Allahbadia, who was also involved in the show, was warned by the court not to make reckless statements. The legal actions extend to multiple people who participated in the controversial episode, including Apoorva Makhija, Samay Raina, and Ranveer Allahbadia.
