The Maharashtra Cyber Cell has issued a second summons to comedian and YouTuber Samay Raina.
He has been directed to appear on March 19 to record his statement regarding the India’s Got Latent show controversy.
Raina was initially summoned today but failed to appear before the authorities.
He had requested to give his statement via videoconferencing from the U.S., citing prior commitments.
However, the Cyber Cell rejected his request, insisting that his statement must be recorded in person.
Reports suggest that his upcoming April shows in Gujarat have been canceled due to the controversy.
The backlash stems from remarks made on India's Got Latent, featuring Ranveer Allahbadia, Ashish Chanchalani, and Apoorva Mukhija.
The show faced criticism for its allegedly controversial content, leading to an ongoing investigation.
Authorities are tightening their probe as public and political reactions continue to gain momentum.
Fans and followers await Raina's response as legal proceedings unfold.
