Despite multiple summons as part of an investigation into his controversial remarks on a YouTube show, host Ranveer Allahbadia aka ‘BeerBiceps’ is yet to appear before the police. The Mumbai Police have now asked him to appear before them on Saturday.
On Friday, teams of Mumbai and Assam police went to his residence in Mumbai but found the flat locked. Earlier, he was asked to report at the Khar police station on Thursday and then on Friday. But he did not turn up. Allahbadia had requested that his statement be recorded at his residence, but it was turned down by the police.
Allahbadia’s controversial comments, including those on ‘parents having sex’, on comedian Samay Raina's now-deleted YouTube show 'India's Got Latent' which also had social media influencer Apoorva Mukhija, sparked a major outrage in the country.
