Guwahati Joint Police Commissioner, Ankur Jain, had earlier informed ANI, “We have got one FIR explaining how these YouTubers have made comments on the father, mother and child relationship and how they in a very obscene manner represented this some vulgar act they have done on a YouTube show. So we have registered one FIR… We are identifying who these YouTubers are – the main host was Samay Raina and the person who made the comment which is shown in the clip is Ranveer Allahabadia and the others are also there. We are trying to identify them and then we will be taking the strictest measures possible in this case.”

The controversy began after Ranveer, popularly known as Beer Biceps, asked a contestant of India’s Got Latent, “Would you rather watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life or join in once to make it stop forever?”
