Stand-up comedian Samay Raina has been summoned by Mumbai Police for questioning over his involvement in the controversial show India’s Got Latent. Authorities registered an FIR against him after obscene remarks were made on the show. Raina has not yet appeared for questioning as he is currently touring the United States.

His lawyer requested an extension, citing Raina’s travel commitments. Mumbai Police granted him time and asked him to return for questioning next month. He is expected to arrive in Mumbai on March 17.

According to Instant Bollywood, Mumbai Police have made it clear that the investigation cannot be delayed for long. Raina must appear within 14 days of the inquiry beginning. Reports suggest he has been given until March 10 to record his statement.

Another accused in the case, YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, also faces legal trouble. Mumbai’s Khar Police have been unable to contact him as his phone remains switched off. Both Mumbai and Assam Police teams visited his residence, but they found it locked.
