After FIRs were filed in Assam and Maharashtra against Ranveer Allahbadia, Samay Raina, and others, a new FIR has been lodged against those associated with the India's Got Latent show. These FIRs stem from obscene remarks made by Ranveer, Apoorva Mukhija, and Ashish Chanchlani on Samay's show. Now, another FIR has been registered in Jaipur, Rajasthan, for the same reason.

According to India Today, Jai Rajputana Singh filed a case in Jaipur, Rajasthan, against Ranveer Allahbadia, Samay Raina, Apoorva Mukhija, and others under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), the Information Technology Act, and other relevant laws. Based on this complaint, the Jaipur Police have lodged an FIR. This FIR follows a viral video featuring YouTubers from India's Got Latent that circulated on social media.

The case has been transferred to Khar Police Station, as the incident falls within its jurisdiction. The Khar Police are currently conducting an investigation into the matter. The Jaipur FIR is the third case filed, following those registered with the Assam Police in the Guwahati Cyber unit and the Maharashtra Cyber unit.

Ranveer Allahbadia's vulgar question to a contestant received immense backlash and landed him in legal trouble. Not only Ranveer but also Samay, Apoorva, and others associated with that episode are facing legal consequences due to their remarks on India's Got Latent.

Today (February 17), the National Commission for Women (NCW) summoned Ranveer Allahbadia, Apoorva Mukhija, Ashish Chanchlani, Samay Raina, Jaspreet Singh, Balraj Ghai, Tushar Poojari, and Saurabh Bothra for a hearing. However, all of them failed to appear, citing various reasons. As a result, the NCW has issued a new date for the hearing.

Ranveer Allahbadia, Apoorva Mukhija, Ashish Chanchlani, Tushar Poojari, and Saurabh Bothra have been summoned on March 6, while Samay Raina, Jaspreet Singh, and Balraj Ghai have been summoned on March 11.
