Amid the ongoing controversy over Samay Raina's show India's Got Latent, the leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party and the other opposition parties on Monday came together to condemn the popular YouTuber Ranveer Allahabadia, also known as BeerBicep's vulgar remark.?
The latest members-only episode of the show was aired on Sunday, and since then the clips from the show have blown over the internet. Among all the clips, one clip that went viral was Ranveer Allahbadia's offensive remark about a contestant's parents.?
Meanwhile, the inappropriate question to a female contestant: "Would you rather watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life or join in once and stop it forever?¡± has raised eyebrows across the country. Hence, stepping into the matter, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said anyone who crosses their limits will face appropriate action.
As the outrage began on social media, people urged others to ban these influencers, and they questioned whether they followed YouTube's rules and guidelines or not.?
Well, coming into action, the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights chief, Priyank Kanungo, wrote to YouTube asking it to remove the particular episode from its platform.?
In the letter, the NCPCR also urged taking urgent action to remove the concerned episode from YouTube.
This is not the first time that the NCPCR has written to YouTube to bring down a video. In the past, the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights asked Sony Pictures Networks to take down an episode of a dance show in which a child was allegedly asked vulgar questions about his parents.?
Apart from this, there was another video on YouTube, that raised concerns over several channels portraying indecent acts involving mothers and sons, which NCPCR asked YouTube to remove.?
The commission also stated that, according to Section 14 of the CPCR Act, 2005, it holds all the authority of a civil court under the Civil Procedure Code. This includes powers like summoning someone, compelling their attendance, and questioning them under oath.?
In 2024, YouTube faced an FIR by the NCPCR over a video titled 'Lipstick Challenge' that was being uploaded on the platform. The video showed a woman and a minor with lipstick the former kissing the latter on her lips.
The objectionable video faced legal action, and a case under IPC section 509, POCSO Act 15, 19, and IT Act 67(d) was filed against it.
