The video led to accusations of promoting vulgarity under the guise of comedy. The controversy came to a head on April 15, when Raina, Allahbadia, and others visited the Cyber Cell. Apoorva Mukhija was the first to leave after meeting with the authorities. Prior to this, on March 24, Raina was interrogated for over six hours by Cyber Cell officials.
He previously missed two summonses, claiming he was out of the country. During his statement, Raina acknowledged his errors and expressed regret, stating, “I regret what I said, and I take cognizance that it was wrong.” He also reported that the incident had negatively impacted his mental health.
Ranveer Allahbadia had his own share of scrutiny from the Cyber Cell, having been questioned multiple times. The officials alleged that he and Apoorva Mukhija exhibited a lack of cooperation, which prompted thoughts of potential legal action against them. Following the outcry, Allahbadia issued an apology via social media, expressing remorse for his remarks during the show. He has since resumed his podcast.
In response to the backlash, Samay Raina has removed all episodes of India’s Got Latent from his YouTube channel and has yet to announce new episodes of the series. Apoorva Mukhija aka The Rebel Kid deleted all her posts but recently posted a video with reagrds to the controversy, criticism and backlash she faced.
