Apoorva Mukhija Shares Rape, Acid Attack Threats Amid 'India's Got Latent' Controversy
Social media influencer Apoorva Mukhija has shared screenshots of rape, acid attack, and death threats she received on Instagram, following the backlash surrounding the YouTube show India’s Got Latent.
After briefly deactivating her account, she returned to Instagram with a post captioned “and that’s not even 1%,” highlighting the scale of the abuse through screenshots of hateful comments on her posts.
In February, the Maharashtra Cyber Cell recorded Mukhija’s statement in connection with the controversy involving podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia’s remarks about parents and sex on the show hosted by comedian Samay Raina.
Ranveer Allahbadia later issued a public apology, stating that his comment was inappropriate and lacked humor. He acknowledged the influence he holds over young audiences and pledged to be more responsible.
Comedian Samay Raina appeared before the Guwahati Crime Branch on April 6 regarding a case filed against him for allegedly promoting obscenity through the YouTube show.
On February 10, Guwahati Police registered an FIR against Ashish Chanchlani, Jaspreet Singh, Apoorva Mukhija, Ranveer Allahbadia, Samay Raina, and others for promoting obscenity and engaging in sexually explicit discussions on India’s Got Latent.
The Guwahati Crime Branch filed Cyber PS case no. 03/2025 under Sections 79, 95, 294, and 296 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), along with Section 67 of the IT Act, 2000; Sections 4 and 7 of the Cinematograph Act, 1952; and Sections 4 and 6 of the Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act, 1986.
Ashish Chanchlani, Ranveer Allahbadia, Apoorva Mukhija, and others have appeared before the Guwahati Crime Branch to record their statements.
