The controversy began when an FIR was filed by the Guwahati Police on February 10, accusing several prominent influencers and YouTubers, including Ashish Chanchlani, Jaspreet Singh, Apoorva Makhija, Ranveer Allahabadia, and Samay Raina, of promoting obscenity through their participation in the show.
The top court's remarks came in the wake of inappropriate comments by YouTuber and Podcaster Ranveer Allahabadia during his guest appearance on the show India's Got Latent.
It was Justice Suryakant who was one of the judges that made vicious comments against the very victim they were meant to protect. It was this very Supreme Court which incentivised the vilification of Nupur Sharma that Abhinav Chandrachud indulged in today.
All Indian Cine Workers' Associations (AICWA) has written to the Union Home Minister and Information and Broadcasting Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, demanding a ban on the YouTube show 'India's Got Latent'.
