Ranveer Allahbadia-Samay Raina Controversy: The Mumbai Police on Friday said that YouTuber and Podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia, has been unreachable, with his phone switched off and his residence was locked.
The cops said that they tried to contact the Youtuber after he skipped the second summon to appear for questioning at Khar Police Station, following the controversy surrounding his ‘watch parents have sex’ remark in “India’s Got Latent” show, on Friday.
Earlier today, Allahbadia, popularly known by his online moniker “BeerBiceps,” approached the Supreme Court seeking relief against multiple FIRs filed against him in various states over the alleged obscene comments.
Allahbadia, through his lawyer Abhinav Chandrachud, filed a petition in the Supreme Court seeking the consolidation of FIRs filed against him across different states.
He also applied for an anticipatory bail, seeking protection from any coercive action fearing a possible action by the Guwahati police, who had also summoned him in connection with the same case.

Additionally, the National Commission for Women (NCW) has called in Allahbadia, Raina, and several others for questioning following the controversy. The hearing will take place at the NCW office in New Delhi on February 17.
What’s The Row?
The YouTuber and podcaster triggered a massive row after he asked a contestant about the “size of his p****” and even offered Rs 2 crore if he “sucked his d***”. But he didn’t stop there. He went on to pose an outrageous question lifted from a recent episode of a YouTube show. The question was: “Watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life. Or would you join in once and stop it forever?”
“My comment wasn’t just inappropriate, it wasn’t even funny. Comedy is not my forte. I am just here to say sorry,” said Allahbadia after his questions and remarks sparked outrage on social media.
