Popular YouTuber and podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia has spoken out about the ongoing controversy surrounding his remarks on the show India’s Got Latent. In a recent Instagram post, he revealed that he has been receiving death threats and assured everyone that he is cooperating with the authorities.
Ranveer expressed regret over his insensitive comments and took full responsibility for his words. He wrote, “My remark about parents was insensitive and disrespectful. It is my moral responsibility to do better, and I am genuinely sorry.” He further added, “I’m watching death threats pour in from people saying that they want to kill me and hurt my family. People have even invaded my mother’s clinic posing as patients. I feel scared, but I am not running away. I have full faith in the police and the judicial system of India.”
Mumbai Police Struggle to Trace Ranveer
According to recent reports, Mumbai Police have been unable to trace Ranveer Allahbadia as his phone remains switched off.

On Friday, police officials went to his residence in Versova but found it locked. Ranveer had earlier requested that the police record his statement at his home, but his request was denied.

Comedian Samay Raina, who hosted the show, has also been asked to appear before the police. His lawyer has requested an extension, stating that Samay is currently in the United States. The authorities have given him time until March 10 to record his statement.
The police are investigating multiple individuals involved in the show. Statements from YouTubers Apoorva Mukhija, Ashish Chanchlani, and Ranveer’s manager have already been recorded. However, no official FIR has been registered yet.
