Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on February 10 announced criminal charges against five prominent YouTubers and social media influencers over their participation in "India's Got Latent," citing obscene and sexually explicit content.

The Guwahati Crime Branch registered cases against Ashish Chanchlani, Jaspreet Singh, Apoorva Makhija, Ranveer Allahbadia, and Samay Raina under multiple sections of the BNS 2023, IT Act, Cinematograph Act, and Indecent Representation of Women Act.

The legal action follows widespread outrage over inappropriate remarks made during the show, particularly an offensive question posed by Allahbadia to a contestant involving their parents.
