India's Got Latent Controversy: YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia and four other Influencers are facing legal trouble over controversial remarks made on Samay Raina’s show "India’s Got Latent". However, two more names have now been added to the case—producers Tushar Poojari and Saurabh Bothra. All seven individuals have been summoned to appear before the National Commission for Women (NCW) in New Delhi on February 17.

The controversy began after Allahbadia asked a contestant an inappropriate question during an episode of Samay Raina's India's Got Latent show which also featured influencers Ashish Chanchlani, Jaspreet Singh and Apoorva Mukhija. A police case was registered against all five influencers and now the show’s producers have also been named in the FIR.
