India's Got Latent Row: The legal battle surrounding YouTuber Ashish Chanchlani has now reached the Supreme Court, where he has sought relief in connection with an FIR registered in Guwahati. Chanchlani, one of the individuals named in the case linked to alleged obscenity in an online show, has moved the top court to either quash the FIR or transfer it to Mumbai. The case primarily revolves around podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia’s controversial remarks on stand-up comedian Samay Raina's show India’s Got Latent, for which he is the key accused.
The matter has been listed for hearing before a Supreme Court bench headed by Justices Surya Kant and N Kotiswar Singh on Friday. Chanchlani’s plea, drafted by advocate Shubham Kulshreshtha and filed through advocate Manju Jaitley, argues that the FIR lodged at Cyber Police Station, Guwahati Crime Branch, should be quashed, as it was registered later. The petition also seeks a transfer of the case to Mumbai, citing that FIR No. 05 of 2025 was filed first at the Mumbai Police Station Nodal Cyber.

His legal team has maintained that he did not make any objectionable statements during the show, asserting that the allegations in the FIR are against co-accused individuals.

She held his collar… there was no camera in the lobby… then she started beating him with a pipe… the woman used abusive language, pushed him back to the lift.
The boy's mother further informed that when the kid returned home, he was in a traumatised state and had bruises all over. “Then we asked the society authorities to release the CCTV fototage,” she added.
Kanika Arora said that this was not the first time when this woman had done something like this. She (accused) brags that police station is like a second home to her, and going in and coming out is a regular thing.
“But after this happened to my kid, I took a step and approached police and will not step back,” the boy's mother said.

Kanika Arora questioned that though an FIR has been registered in the case, her name (accused) has been kept as unknown. She said there is some lack of action from police but she fails to understand this.
