In the ongoing India’s Got Latent controversy, all of the people mentioned in the case have been given new dates to appear before the National Commission for Women. Read on to know more.
Samay Raina, Ranveer Allahbadia and others from the latest episode of India’s Got Latent are set to appear before the National Commission for Women (NCW). The NCW has ordered all the people mentioned in the case to appear on a new date.
Ranvir Allahabadia, Apoorva Mukhija, Ashish Chachlani and Tushar Pujari have been ordered to appear on March 6. On the other hand, Samay Raina and Jaspreet Singh have been ordered to appear on March 11.
Samay Raina and Apoorva Mukhija were earlier ordered to appear before the Maharashtra Cyber Cell today, February 17 to record their statements. However, Raina had requested the agency to record his statement through video conferencing as he is in the United States for his shows. The cyber cell rejected his request and now new dates have been given.
Earlier, Allahbadia approached the Supreme Court of India seeking relief from FIRs filed against him in connection to the ongoing India’s Got Latent controversy. There have been several FIRs filed in different states across the country. Allahabdia has filed a petition for the consolidation of these cases into one.
This move to consolidate the FIRs follows concerns that Allahbadia would face multiple legal proceedings across different jurisdictions, potentially complicating the legal process. His legal team argues that hearing the cases together would streamline the process and ensure fair treatment for the accused.
The Supreme Court is expected to hear the petition filed on February 21. According to the court’s computer-generated listing, the plea seeks judicial intervention against multiple FIRs filed against him.
In his petition, Allahbadia, represented by lawyer Abhinav Chandrachud, also sought anticipatory bail, fearing arrest by the Guwahati police. The controversy erupted after he made comments on India’s Got Latent. Those statements sparked outrage across the country and led to complaints being filed against him and others on the show along with the producers.
